Bizarro

If I told you the temperature was in the 50s (mid-teens C) and raining at noon, and that it was the first day of school, you'd probably guess it was mid-September, right? Welcome to Basel in the middle of August. (Meanwhile, at the other extreme I felt great empathy for our friends back in DC when I read that they have had 28 days over 90F/32C so far this summer...and if you've never been to DC in the summer, let me tell you, that's not a dry heat.)
