    I'll bet the first taker 5 bucks that the temperature never reaches above 81 degrees fahrenheit in Rangoon on Friday.

    Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
    And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
    It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
    and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

            Rangoon mean maximum air temperature for both July and August is 29.4C = 85F.

            This could be a nail-biter.

                  Is it too early for the popcorn?


                  Also, since Rangoon (Yangon) is the capitol of Myanmar, which we all know is run by an evil Military Junta, can we really trust the veracity of their thermometers?

                    Internet wagering is illegal in the U.S., isn't it?
                    I wager nobody cares; and that nobody collects, either.

                        I don't welch, especially when it has to do with Burmese weather predictions.

                        The mean tempertaure data is a bit disconcerting. Never bet against Global warming, huh David?

                        Looks like Friday will have some of the most precip for the week. These dudes think that we may top out at around 82-83 degrees Friday: http://www.weather-forecast.com/loca...recasts/latest

                        but this looks even worse for me: http://weather.wn.com/temp.asp?cityid=1623&stateid=83
