My parents live in a canyon near livermore in Bay area…it gets about 5 degrees colder in the canyon because the hills block the sun and the heat escapes…it was about 28 the day the pipes burst…now we leave water running at night to keep it from happening
This year one of our pipes did burst and the was a nice waterfall going on in the garage….we run small amount of water through fausets at night…and as for animals at my parents house they have a pomeranian great dane and a cat. At my apartment though we keep house a t 75 for reptiles
Uggh I hate when it gets under 30f because my parents dont heat their house at all….My room gets to 35f at night. I hate it. my window in my room doesnt close all the way so even more cold seeps in. So I live with my boyfriend more because our studio stays at around 75 year round because I own reptiles that will die without a minimum temp of 70. As others said it is around 50 miday in east bay, but first week of december we had 4 inches of snow in richmond. It has defiantly been a cold winter for cali. As for Idaho I go there for hunting in november and it was -15 last time I was up…That cold hurts. No amount of layers make that better. Since ultimately You have your face only partially covered. The house temp was 20 in mornings so it hurt to get up and take a shower too. :-/ heaters in my family are non-existant.
Yes it was the colonial theme…but really thats what happened….the colonist lied to the indians repeatedly taking their lands, slaughtering their families. On top of that they almost killed off beavers, buffalo and bird species. They almost wiped the indians out of existence too. Instead they enslaved them, tore their culture apart and belittled them. Colored folk think they were the ones wronged the most. I say native americans had it the worst because after they were almost anilated they were also enslaved gawked at and made fun of. Today still native americans have the highest suicide rate of any minority or majority. So I believe this story is true even today. It isn’t cliché and we now overlook the people pilgrims railroaded to steal and pillaged land from. I also hate people like my parents who are so racist that they believe native americans and colored people got what they deserved.
Sorry for the vent but it seems so much is left out in history classes these days no one knows or cares about the plight of native americans. 🙁
