It is Europe's warmest winter on record in like, 1,300 years and definitely in the 200 since they started keeping firm written track. I can attest. It really wasn't routinely that cold during the day when I was there. Now, granted I complained about the cold, but that's because I'm a cold wimp, and also because I live in Southern California, where a cold day in winter is 40-45 degrees...which is a crisp fall day in Paris. So while I thought it was cold, the people there didn't. And also, to be fair, there were several days after it got cold where it really wasn't that cold during the day, and I could go out in just a long sleeve cotton tee and a fleece pullover. People all around me were complaining that it was too hot for much of my stay once we passed mid-September. They kept wondering when it was going to finally be fall. And from what I understand, the weather hasn't changed since I left. So it's 84 here in Sunny CA here in December (I'm not kidding - yesterday it was 84 degrees in Van Nuys and about 87 here at the house...I was in black jeans and I thought someone had taken a blowtorch to my legs while I was driving, it was so unbelievably hot) and 50 in Paris every day. Did I mention it's December? But you know, there's no global warming. Tonight I'm going to dinner for my birthday with Em and her fam, to have yummy, yummy chile rellenos. Hopefully my pepper sensitivity will not cause problems, because I love chile relleno, and Em says they have discovered a restaurant that makes it out of this world. The pepper allergy/sensitivity thing is really hit and miss. Bell peppers, which I love, are always a no-no. But jalepeno peppers don't bother me at all, unless I eat them on an empty stomach. Ditto onion rings, while just about every other form an onion can take is hideous. Sometimes the chiles in chile relleno bother me, and sometimes they don't. I guess we'll have to see what happens. I hope it isn't bad. I got nothin' else. I have jewelry to make and all that, so see ya later. I hope everyone has a good weekend. Peace out, copyright 2002
