Perspective
Today the forecast was for the temperature to be 24 Celcius (about 76 F). I talked with a friend of mine in the UK who was joyful because this week was hot. I asked her what hot was--today was supposed to be 26--"It's the hottest it's been all summer!" I told her I was rejoicing because it was cooler today. Later, as another MCCer and I were talking about the beautiful weather, she told me that as she was walking with a Mozambican colleague who commented, "It might be 26 but it feels like 49 (120 F)!"
