GammaGlobulin Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Hi Folks, Anytime I am feeling too HOT, in Thailand, here is what I do.... I just pick up my phone and try to call some of the coldest places on Earth. This habit of mine began in the late 1960s, a time when I began trying to place a radio-telephone call from my home in Pennsylvania to ANYONE on Ellesmere Island. At that time, just one phone call was SUPER-DUPER expensive...I mean like Really Expensive! Now, though, communication costs have decreased markedly. And so, anytime I am feeling just TOO HOT in Thailand, I get off...by calling guys like this: Just talking to people on either one of our two poles not only cools me down, but raises me up. Many of these guys on the poles, or near to the poles, are so bored that you can talk to them about almost anything, almost as if they were your personal shrink, or something, and they will be grateful for your sharing. Most of the guys up there are basically nothing more than lonely geeks. And, they are not especially handsome, in most cases.... But you might be surprised at just how warm and friendly they are.... And that is completely understandable when you consider just how remote is the place where they live. I mean, much of the time they don't even see the sun. And then, during other months, the sun is about all they see, 24 hours a day. It's not so easy to call Ellesmere in the winter months. But, still, you might give it a try and get back to me about your success. IF you do make contact up there, please tell them.... Gamma sent me.... Or, what is it that you do, when feeling HOT at night, that helps to cool you down? Regards, The Glob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
