So, I'm here in Chicago, and the locals baffle me with thebway they dress. It's 14C, and the wind from Thames is strong and wet. I have to wear a turtleneck sweater and do up my coat. These people walk around in flip-flops and tee-shirts! Do they not feel the cold at all? Do they have anti-freeze in place of their blood?

A black guy that works in the newsagents near the hotel (I swear, all the black people here work in the retail) asked me where I was from. When he heard I was from Moscow and replied that it must be cold there, I laughed into his face. I was sweating back in Moscow, and here in Chicago I'm ****ing freezing my balls off. Going to ride the Eye tomorrow, at least its cabins aren't open. No way I'm going on a boatride in this weather.Graffiti in a public toilet

5C and above is t-shirt weather. 0C is long-sleeve weather. -5C is summer coat weather. -20C is winter coat weather."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

That's almost 60 degrees F. You can wear shorts/flipflops in that kind of weather, if you're on the way to the gym or whatever. Borderline.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

We're headed to London, erm uh Chicago for our anniversary the first week of June. 60F degrees seems to be normal, as well as a good chance for rain. For Californians, 60F and rain is our winter weather, so we won't be running around in shorts either.And indeed there will be time To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?". t s eliot

The weather has scrambled his brains...
Today in Abergavenny it was about 15C and windy, but the sun was so warm that it was total t-shirt weather - I have to say that you Russians are indeed total pussies...
