What's the best way to beat the heat this July?  Is global warming getting out of hand or what?  Last year was really bad and so far it looks like this summer is going to be the same, if not worse.

 

Personally, I like to open up the louvers on my Santa Monica apartment, grab an ice cold beverage from the Regal Beagle, and head down to the beach with my roomies.

 

How about you? 

So, before you go complaining about the winter weather, let's keep things in perspective.

Yes, it was a little windy this week, we had some overnight light rain and I even had to put on a light vest to go to work today.  But have a look at the little picture to the left here.  That's me digging out my driveway of a foot and a half of snow last winter in Boston...

...No Fun 

 

So how does everybody really feel about winter in Los Angeles?  This is truly the time of year to be thankful for living in Southern California.  I mean, really... 

Okay, so I moved here from Boston to get away from the "extreme" weather trends in New England. Crazy hot and humid in the summer and windy cold and snowy in the winter. Back in L.A., it'll be nice to enjoy the stable, sunny, easy-going weather.

Um... riiight. Wait a sec... hmm, oh yeah, here's what I was going to say...

WHAT THE CRAP?!?

This is ridic! Did I bring this with me? I know the entire country is going through an extreme heatwave weather pattern, but aren't we supposed to be somewhat immune from this? Now, I live in the valley so I understand it'll get a little warmer there in the summer, but I was on the west side this morning and it was 90 degrees there at 10am!! Come on. This kind of bites, I must say.

Okay, that's it. Just a little weather venting. It will be very nice here next February when I throw on a light jacket and everyone back east is wiping their runny noses as they fight off the frosty wind while scraping the ice off of their cars.
