doesn't feel any hotter than 120 or so. I really think 120 is the point at which it's just fucking hot, and I can't tell any temp difference from there.

I know the feeling.... when I was in Boznia, we had a day that was -17 with out wind chill... I think once it gets to a certian stage, it's fukkin cold. Any little bit more don't matter till you lose body parts.
