It´s freaking COLD here. I know I´ve said this before, but the houses are all so open, no insulation, designed for extremely hot weather, so all it takes is temps in the 40s to make it feel freezing. The past couple days it´s been raining, so now everything is damp, and all my shoes, socks, jackets. . . nothing will dry. You have to sleep with as much clothing as you can fit on your body, and with hat, gloves, etc. Some of the kids are still walking around in shorts, or a light shirt without jacket, and flip flops. If that´s what they have to wear, I can´t imagine they have much in the way of blankets in their homes. The dogs are a trembling, wet mess. It´s all just kind of depressing around here. |

Be careful that you don't get sick. Damp and cold is a bad combination. It's hot as hell here (NYC). |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

Wow - stay as warm as you can Opt. An odd statement considering it's been in the 90's or above 100 for last month, it feels like. Going to continue at least another week. I think it's safe to say that we're BOTH ready for autumn! |

Yeah, just as it was weird for me coming down here in the awful summer heat and hearing about everybody´s snow back home. This has been such an extreme year for weather. I just wish the rain would go away and the cool weather would stay. --this is Optimistica Abrigada (bundled up)

Up until about 2 weeks ago, San Diego was having a colder than normal summer. We actually set new record low temps in early July. |

That does sound like rough weather, Opti. We've been in hot, oven-like conditions here. I've been taking a clean white towel to my boys' baseball games. I can then pour ice water on it and wear it around my neck and mop off my sweating face. I sit in my chair in the shade and try to move. |
