Possible Absence
If I'm not around much in the next few days, I'm not ignoring Extend-A-Story. We have a heatwave here, and my PC processor is overheating, causing nasty crashes.

Your PC is not the only thing that feels like crashing in this weather.
Is there any way you can cool it off?

How about this?
Hi John,
Perhaps another way around this might be in order. I've seen in the electronic stores little CPU fans that can be bought and installed (aftermarket) into the case right over the cpu unit itself. It might help distribute the heat away from the AMD cpu enough where crashes don't happen as often.
At least that's the idea...

Climate
The British Isles are at the same latitudes as Alberta in Canada. Norway better corresponds to the latitudes of the main part of Alaska.
Western Europe is warmer in the winter than Alberta due to the Gulf Stream, which warms that part of the Atlantic and the North Sea. Large bodies of water like the Atlantic Ocean also keep the temperatures from becoming as extreme as those in places like Edmonton, which hit 90 F today and will probably see lots of days below 0 F this winter. (Someone there once told me that "40 below keeps the riff-raff out.")
One thing to consider is the presence of central air conditioning. In places where it only gets hot for about two weeks out of the year, it is not built in some houses in order to save costs. Those two weeks are not a lot of fun, though.
