100 degrees for the past several weeks and the pool was 90 degrees. Where? Encino in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. Difference from Paris? A/C in all the houses, restaurants, markets, etc., and people eating ice (cream, frosties etc.). In other words we know how to live in the heat. Encino is not the hottest place around here, those honors go to Woodland Hills and Chatsworth, places that average five to ten degrees hotter. My grandson is at football practice six days per week (just like all of us used to do) and my other grandson plays summer hockey (his parents and he are smart), but also rides dirt bikes in the outside almost every day. Nobody dies. I still think those French numbers are bogus.
