I just came back from watching Inception (good movie!) and had to bicycle through what can only be called a torrential downpour. (Cyn, remember that Narrows Hike we did? Some of the bike lanes looked a lot like that trail.)
Of course it's mostly stopped now that I'm home... but if I'd waited it out at the theater it would still be going on: basic law of metaphysics. Anyway, when I hear the flist talk about temperatures of 30-40°C, I'm DEEPLY DEEPLY ENVIOUS! Just for the record. *sigh*

my roommate is writing a guided tour for the Museum of Natural History and has two specific questions about koscher food she couldn't find an answer to on the net. She doesn't know any Jewish people here so I offered to ask my friends list. (It is technically not part of the actual program (Animals of the Bible) but she would like to be able to answer questions from visitors even when they go into more detail.)

I wouldn't want 40° or even 30° (really dislike anything even approaching heat), but 20° would be nice, maybe 23°. It's currently not quite 14° with lows of 8° during the night. I guess it is better than heat for me, but a bit of sun would be welcome. I mean, how are you supposed to store up vitamin D for the winter half if it is overcast all the time during summer? It's not like I eat fatty fish...
ratcreature: RatCreature is dejected: sigh (sigh)

I guess weather records are rapidly becoming ever more meaningless, what with global warming just making the weather weirder and more extreme everywhere. :(

I get my kosher food info from either kashrut.com or kashrut.org.
