It's not just Baja that's heating up. Parts of the Central Coast are expected to reach 110. :o

Right now, we're in a fogbank, but from what they say, it's going to be un "Dia Cajuamero."

Mexicali Forecast (in Spanish)

Ken Cooke - 6-27-2013 at 01:47 PM

On the BRIGHT side ...............

MrBillM - 6-27-2013 at 01:50 PM

It's not Death Valley where it's supposed to hit 129.

Mexitron - 6-27-2013 at 02:09 PM

50 degs C is 122F...that's cookin'.....probably more humidity in Mexicali so it might just feel like 129! I almost want to drive out there to see what 129 feels like...must be the German third of me.

David K - 6-27-2013 at 04:07 PM

When I was a kid, they called this condition: SUMMER :rolleyes::lol:

The world's highest recorded air temperature is officially recognized by the World Meteorological Organization as 134°F (57.6°C) recorded at Death Valley, California, USA on 10 July 1913.

How can you be a third with 2 parents?

Oh. We're getting some heat up here and I love it! 'Sunshine on my shoulder' and all that sort of thing.

UK may allow 3 parent babies

He could be ahead of the times.

Britain could become the first country in the world to allow babies to be born with three genetic parents

The hot deserts are sucking in the marine layer in coastal socal. Nice and cool - so far. Going for a long beach walk before it burns off.

Things are heating up!

Alan - 6-28-2013 at 08:31 AM

Headed south Tuesday morning with plans to fish BoLA on Wed. I've never caught a pre-cooked fish before. Could be interesting.

Could it be that each parent had 1/6 German blood, making Mexitron 1/3 German? :?::light::lol:

Mexitron - 6-28-2013 at 09:25 AM

Something like that David! Let's just say a Euro mutt---1/8 swedish, a third German, and the rest UK.

A. If both parents are 1/6th than you're 1/6th.

B. No parent could be 1/6th because the denominator has to be a factor of 2 (or 1). 1/1, 1/2, x/4, x/16, x/32, x/64. That's how it seems to me.

These number may not seem important but they were very important during WWII.

You see, if you were Jewish with a fraction that was greater than 1/64 in N-zi germany you were in real trouble.

I think Hitler's was around that figure. Maybe that's how they came up with that threshold.

mutt with 1/3 portion could only be british,...

The British government is moving ahead with plans to allow doctors to create babies through in vitro fertilization using genetic material from three people.

David K - 6-28-2013 at 02:44 PM

Okay, I know I would get the geometry math wrong! LOL

So, BOTH parents were 1/3 German for Mexitron to be 1/3 German... as he gets HALF of each parent... right?

I am a Euro mutt as well... Scottish, Irish, German, Norwegian, French, Welsh, etc. BUT, I feel at home in Baja!

Mexitron - 6-28-2013 at 04:03 PM

Skipjack---there's German in varying amounts all through the family lines---its an estimate;D

That reminds me of a conversational spanish class I took at a junior college a few years back. We were practicing gender word endings.

Mi madre - my mother
Mi padre - my father
Mis padres - ??

Me: My fathers? But, that's ridiculous. How can anyone have more than one father?

Teacher: Son, you're in San Francisco. Anything's possible here.
