I remember growing up in the 50's in Brooklyn, my Dad was a NY policeman and he would open the fire hydrants for us. All the neighborhood kids would be out on the street.

What's really bizarre to me is the lack of heat in Los Angeles. I live in the San Fernando Valley, which is usually searing hot from July 1 to November 1. All this week in the Valley, it's been 70 or 75 degrees. But I'm sure we will also be suffering shortly. Keep cool, New York.
