And I even said south of here is probably worse. My god, you have to argue about the weather even... Peter: Not sure if they still do the bussing or not obviously. Like I said, we only lived there six months. Right off of Alameda de las Pulgas. I walked up and down that big ass hill every day... I thought the school was alright. The guidance counselor scared the hell out of my mom though when we first moved there saying how we couldn't wear all red or all blue because those were gang colors or whatever. I thought the open lunch was cool, as well as the fact that we could wear hats. Not really complaining, just saying I feel him. And I even said south of here is probably worse.

I live in Belmont and my kid will go to that high school (Carlmont). It can rain here during the winter in biblical proportions. No argument there. Hmmm.

Wimp! Down here in Memphis it was 110 yesterday. You’re comlaining about it being 104? Wimp! Down here in Memphis it was 110 yesterday.

It was the most miserable 6 months of weather I've ever experienced. It rained literally 3 of those months and was very cold. They made us swim outdoors in 62° water. The high school's claim to fame? It was where Dana Carvey went. (I'm pretty sure that's correct...) I lived there (in Belmont, where they bussed kids in from East Palo Alto) for six months in ’93 (I think) between January and June.

I know what you're saying. In regards to Iraq, hope is not a good strategy. At what point can we stop hoping and start the painful process of pulling out? Or is the death of 500 people more evidence that we need to stay for longer? Until we can have "sustainable stability"?
