Why dry heat? Well, there is a saying in the desert, as we try to explain how we can live here when it is 110F (43C) out. We say, "But it's a dry heat!" And it is, I find 110 here to be more "comfortable" than 95 on the east coast with lots of humidity.

I'm not quite as excited as you are, yet! But, maybe it's a way to break the ice, and see what's underneath. Maybe it's more ice, but maybe there is something else?
