Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 07/20/2023 4:34 pm yep, it takes a long time and diligent work to get rid of these goat heads.

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 07/20/2023 10:37 pm I was in Laughlin, Nevada a few years back at the Avi Casino. It was 123°, the hottest weather I have ever been in and what did I do? I walked across the sand to get to the river barefoot. I had 2nd degree burns on the bottom of ny feet. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 07/20/2023 11:02 pm Here in Michigan, we are at a frigid (compared to several here...) average of about 80 degrees for highs with intermittent rain for our summer. A few days of 90+, but that's about it... Speaking of coins, I wonder how many have caltrops, etc on them? Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15398 Posts	Posted 07/21/2023 04:26 am Sorry for all of you in the heat.
