Well, hard to believe it, but at the moment at 9:30 PM it's +24 outside ... reached +28 today. Just had to gloat ... I'm in heaven!

------ regards the helicopter crash ... victims identified, one, the pedestrian the copter landed on was wearing headphones at the time which probably, as the news reports say, he didn't hear it to know to get out of the way, a Kenya lad around 20/23 not clear on age, here as a student, was on his way to the post office to mail some letters home to his family. The pilot and the hydro workers all local. Reasons for crash still being investigated.
