I just voted today around 7:30am, and it was already hot. Like shorts and tee-shirt hot, like go to the beach hot.
The heat was on Monday in Southern California, too, with temperatures in downtown Los Angeles reaching 95 degrees in the early afternoon — making it the hottest Nov. 6 since authorities started keeping records 129 years ago.
And while I was driving home from doing my part to send Arnold Schwarzenegger back for a second term, they said on the radio that out where I live, it may even hit 100 degrees today! I know this isn't going to get me a lot of sympathy from my friends around the world who are already into rain and snow and cold territory but, really, 100 degrees seems a little extreme for early November. The only place where this kind of weather wouldn't be a harbinger of global warming would be, say, Venus.
Maybe it's just the heat but I also voted to send former-Governor Jerry Brown back to Sacramento as our Attorney General.
