About half of the crowd was Hispanic families enjoying a day at the lake; about a quarter were Anglo-families doing the same, and rest were teenagers, boys trying to impress the girls and vice versa. <abbr><em>Juds last blog post..<a href="http://jud-beyondthepale.blogspot.com/2009/02/waiting-for-warming-trend.html" rel="nofollow">Waiting for a Warming Trend</a></abbr></em> Well, i can’t recall seeing any openly gay folks there on my last visit, but then I can’t say that I really keep an eye out for that sort of thing.

We've had a few dropping off here, but nowhere near 20,000. Runsdeep - So you're still Captain Evironment then are you? Too bad it doesn't come with a paycheck. Nathan - I don't miss the midwestern winters a bit. We Be Toys - We're still in it. Looking like Sunday may get down to a reasonable sort of temperature. Damon - Me too. I'm kind of digging the heat. Southern - No, so it's a piece of cake. More like Arizona than Alabama. Gypsy - Thanks. Father Muskrat - How does the powder work if you're wet? Mongola - Pretty much, yeah. I've never been hotter than doing field work in Columbia. Sweaty, covered with pollen and scratches from those leaf blades. Bluestreak - I know, it's the same as the States here - you just go from one air conditioned building to your air conditioned car to another air conditioned building. I take the bus though, but they're usally air conditioned as well. Courtney - Damn hot. Carrie - It's OK, it's much better than the rain and gloom I got used to for the last few years. Siren - We've got all sorts of ways, most of which involve ice cream. MRJC - It's not always willing, but he'll usually wear one of mine if not his own. That one's mine. Jud - When I was in Athens I used to take the dog down to Sandy Creek - it was also kid of notorious as a hook-up place for the gay community, if you know what I'm saying. Maureen - I don't think it ever got that cold when we were in Britain! Arizaphale - I was worried about Boy Z! CMGD - You win. JChev – I think France’s problem is a lack of A/C.

And all I have to say is that I'm with you. I was on bed rest. Pregnant with twins. In August. In a bedroom that had poor AC. Which means by 3PM every damned day, it was 90F in that room.
