Ya, I didn't either until 2-3 years ago when a local radio station where I used to live played Helden instead of Heroes it's really good

I'm listening some stuff from his new album. So powerful considering the circumstances.

 

@Prettyphile did you listen to this one? And saw the video?

 

 

 

It's clear he knew this was going to be his last work...

I did, and cried like a baby. That's not the way I wanted to remember him   It also brought up a lot of memories of my own father getting sick and dying of cancer. Bowie and Dad looked identical towards the end

^ Well, we could say he IS David Bowie, since David Bowie's real name was David Jones.

Amazing vistas my friend! I love how modern Santiago has become on it's skyline alone over the past 20 years

 

And from the looks of the brush, seems like you are having some warm weather now eh?

 

Oh, and how many km that time?

It's been having quite an evolution, and there's lots of new building in process too.

 

Terrible heat wave here  35º for today and same thing tomorrow. Yesterday it was 32º.

 

Oh, not so much. Only 53 km  Going up different hills there 4 times each though.

Too many earthquakes here for that  

 

35ºC is already too much for me  I just went out and it's terrible outside.

 

That's an excellent question

You'd be surprised how well tall structures are engineered to hold up during earthquakes. I would prefer tall vs a low-rise building during a good size shaker

 

What is your ideal heat range then?

 

I don't have an answer yet!

Well our taller buildings resisted the 2010 earthquake with no issues at all. Torre Costanera was still in construction but Titanium building had absolutely no troubles.

 

From 22º to 27º or so would be ideal. Over 30º it starts to become excessive

Ah yes the Torre Costanera. I remember sharing updates with you as it was being constructed Even though I know you live in Santiago and can see it anytime u want One of my fav buildings in South America And yep, chances are no issue in the future when big earthquakes hit. That building was made to sway and move. Ugh, I can only imagine that sea sickness feeling people must feel when it sways during an earthquake

 

Hopefully you get some cooler temps. You are getting much too close to 40C bud

Yes, I can see it from my window  

Like most buildings here it's well constructed to stand earthquakes. It's much better than it sways than it falls  

 

Apparently on Tuesday the temps will be more normal.

Nice view then sir

Agreed to the fullest degree possible I hope another supertall goes up soon in your region. Although I have not seen any such news for Santiago in it's respective topic.

 

Ah okay, well hang in there and maybe some nice ice cream until then I wonder, you a fan of ice cream and if so what flavors?

No, no new super tall projects for now. And I don't know if there's going to be any in the near future.

 

Not really a fan of ice cream. I have once in a while but it's very uncommon.

You crazy.

 

10C to -10C (without winchill) suits me the best. Anything over double digits positive I start to hate.
