WOW! It's August. The summer is flying by. Take time to enjoy moments and memories with the ones you love.

 

 

Progression of engineering education:

 

A good planner needs to know at least a little bit about a great variety of topics.

 

Engineers often succeed by specializing.

 

So planners like to say that over time, planners learn less and less about more and more until eventually they know nothing about everything.

 

While engineers learn more and more about less and less until they eventually know everything about nothing.

      Our heat/humidity just broke on Wednesday. Nice relief from the mid 90's in both temp and humidity.

        I returned last night from a week-long organized tour of Spain.

         

        In Zaragoza, we encountered temperatures of 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit), while in Madrid it was only 41 degrees...

         

        When we got off the bus, it felt like someone was standing outside with a hair dryer blowing hot air at us.

          I took a mine tour last week.  The guide talked about another mine that reaches 150 degrees Fahrenheit at the bottom levels.  The workers would spend 20 minutes in an ice bath, work 10 minutes, and then repeat.  They would do this for up to 16 hours per day.  Crazy.

            Ugh.. Already sweating at my desk just by thinking about it as I am writing this. That's sauna level! But as you said, working for hours in that environment is tough...
