Quit bitchin' about how hot Paris is in the Summer!
 

Just thought I should note, for our European Fodorites, that it reached 125 degrees Fahrenheit today in Baker California. That's 51.6 degrees Centigrade!!!!

A useful factoid for the next American who bitches about how hot it is in your town.

:-)

yea , but is a dry heat!

So that's where our summer's gone. We had it a while ago - I think it was a Tuesday - and then it somehow disappeared.

Paris may have reached 68°F today.

but it's a wet 68 degrees probably

Now that's a place that really needs air conditioning.

Sorry to hear you're baking in Baker.
We're swimming (in rain) in Switzerland.

I live in North Texas, and it's usually triple digits here in July, but we haven't hit 100 all summer and it's been a couple of weeks since we've even hit 90. Not the first time I can remember a cool, wet summer, but a real rarity.

We're floating down the streets here in Dallas. A few months ago all area lakes were 10'-20' below normal, now all are at least 10' above and some as much as 30' above normal. Amazing change in such a short period of time.

YOu probably shouldn't use that slang word, as it can be offensive to some people, like me -- especially as a heading for a post which is very unnecessary and you have to repeat it at the end. It's really rather vulgar to feel you have to talk that way.

I won't bitch, coz its oh-so offensive. (You've never been offensive, you are allowed.)
But by-gosh-by-golly...that's hot.
I'm sorry that you probably have to hole-up in air conditioning, like we in the east, sometimes hole-up because of snow!

My most humble and abject apologies to Christina, and any other easily offended Fodorites, whom I may have shocked by my intemperate language!

Please substitute the word "gripe", or "complain" for the term I originally used. I do hope my use of slang on this august Forum will not end civilization as we know it.

:-(

Have been to Baker? Just pass through it on your way to Las Vegas.

The irony is I have found the complaining poster's comments to be offensive from time to time; rude, judgemental and pejorative. I guess offensive is in the eye of the beholder.

>A few months ago all area lakes were 10'-20' below normal, now all are at least 10' above...

Here in GA, we would appreciate some of that rain you folks in TX are keeping all to yourselves. :)

((I))

Thank you Grasshopper. I really felt like adding a snide aside to Christina that, "If the shoe fits--", but then we are all friends here, right?

:-)

Kerouac, every time I see a posts from you I get so jealous. I want to be back in Paris!
