And this is bad why?

Humidity is low. The views are spectacular. The heat is not unbearable. The women are a pain in the ass. Everything about this place seems normal to me!

Up here also, we had more than 5" in an hour, with considerable street flooding in the city. I was glad to have a Jeep.

BIGTEX, LOL...
I was just bashing Med's weather the other day...I enjoy the long lazy days of summer and sunsets at 9 pm. which we do not have in MED...However, I would take that rain everyday versus the friggin winters here..

Sorry, do not have that problem here in Cucuta, but we do have around 95 F weather every day, well so it seems like it.

In Abejorral - a small cafe/agricultural pueblo outside Medellin several locals insisted this invierno has lasted now for fully 2 years. Cafe harvest v poor with lots of rotting fruit.

just like yesterday, dear. however i spent 90% at POP and malibu because they were close. i remember my 4 year old wandered off one saturday when the beach was crowded and a giant alert went out up and down the beach. finally the beach patrol found her 6 life guard stations down the beach toward santa monica pier. i nearly died..literally...of panic.

there were tens of thousands of people everywhere and she somehow just diaappeared into the crowd.

You guys will never learn... don't you know that it is impossible to "get" a Colombiana in the US?

that's east coast colombianas, we're talking the "friendly" west coast. Then again, when you ain't got game, you ain't got game. Jajaja, that should get them storming in here.

OC= Orange County

SF has palm trees, but wouldn't call the beaches here warm, well at least the water's not warm., you would have to head down to Capitola.
