It has been unusually chilly though, a little backwash from Ivan et al. We'll have really nice temps for about 2 hours, then it'll get all chilly. We have a saying locally: if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes; it'll change. Whereas here in the San Francisco area, it's more like: if you don't like the weather, cross the street. (There's no such expression as far as I know, I just like to say that.) It's very hilly here and we have lots of "microclimates". So it might be sunny in one neighborhood, and in another one less than a mile away, it might be raining and gusting wind. The temperature varies sharply depending on how close you are to the actual coast. "Inland" means a mere 3 or 4 miles inland. It might be 100 degrees (38C) "inland" and 65 (18C) and foggy on the beach, just a few miles away. Joyce |

I'm afraid we've got y'all beat. I started seeing Christmas stuff in July at
one of our big department stores. I was going upstairs to the can when I saw the Kaufmann's ladies shlepping a pallet full of ornaments and this obnoxious-looking blue tree. they told me the tree will come out sometime in October, but they've had the ornaments and other holiday chotchkies up since the end of July. Blessed be, Baha Marina wrote: Steve Touchstone wrote: And of course it doesn't help that the stores seem to think Chrstmas comes earlier every year. They're already putting up Christmas stuff in the post exchange out on Fort Sill - started a couple weeks ago. In September?? At least here, they don't start until the end of October. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki |
