Yes, the question is why do we have to have the hottest day of the year almost at the end of this summer?? Why does this summer, the summer I am pregnant, have to be hotter than average? Why do we have to have almost record highs now that I am entering the ninth month?
We moved here, to the West Side four years ago, and one of the deciding factors was the climate, the average temperatures throughout the year between 62 and 71. Isn't that just perfect? The record high for September (104 F) was in 1963, today it was 100 F - Lucky me...

Update: Here is what the Santa Monica Beach looked like over the weekend. (LA Times Cover Page on Tuesday 09/07/04). Whay is everbody standing (even those under the umbrellas) ?
