Paris is Burning

Tonight the parks are full of people. It's very nice and social- lots of blankets and wine and young people sitting around chatting. I wondered why I don't see this at home, although claire and I once saw a group of kids in the park with KISS makeup on, and then it occurred to me- we have air coditioning at home! There are very few places here that have a/c, so people have to get out and socialize. I like having air-conditioning, and I should note that our neighbors do like to sit on their porches and visit with each other. Still, I'd like to see a few more picnics.
