A water pipe on the outside of a house? Seriously?! That seems quite bizarre to me.

Silly Californians...
I agree that's really strange, in New England, you aren't even allowed to install water pipes on the INSIDE walls that touch the outer most wall, you have to have them sent through a central location on an interior wall, or they could crack from the cold if the house temp drops too much (like when you set the thermostat to 55 when you're not home)...
Look at bright side, we don't have to contend with earthquake codes.
Lightweights.
Here in adelaide we can't have convertibles. If you're in the sun for 20 consecutive minutes the top of your head catches fire. (but it gets worse in summer)
I was in Iceland in July 2001. It must have been about 50 degrees out and kids were running around in shorts and t-shirts.
Then I see online weather reports from California with news reporters wearing coats, scarves, and hats when it drops below 50.
Are you guys a little weak out there in Southern California? Or, more than a little, perhaps? Doesn't that bother you?
New a fellow who was stationed at Camp Penelton a marine base just south of San Clement along the coast in So. Cal during the winter for basic training. He was from one of the mid west states,said he use to ware a tee shirt while working out side when it was snowing and it did not bother him at all. In boot camp he complained about having a cold the whole winter he was there probable form the moist cold air coming in off the ocean that just sucks the heat right out of your body, always damp and never really dry in those barracks.
I can only hope for global warming some day it will take the chill off
Now.... Right now... CT, USA

Yes you are right Vaughn about the germs being spread, my wife is a high school teacher and colds, flu are spread easily throw the class room. You would think students that age would use hankies or hold there hand to there mouth when sneezing.It is not that bad there. The colds he had was more likely due to being thrown into contact with people with new germs he had never been exposed to before -- no immunity built up -- and the stress that his body was being put through. When the boys and I go down to San Clemente for Thanksgiving every year, we are the few that are on the beach and in the water. Water temp is in the balmy low 60'sF and the air temps nice and warn -- 60's to 70F. Ocean water up here rarely gets above the low 50's. -- and 60's for the air temps! And that is in the summer!

Try this scenerio:
My triplets in three different school classes, their mom working full time in a hospital, and me at the university. It was amazing that we were usually healthy!
But then one of the triplets would disappear under a counter, table, or whatever as soon as my back was turned -- and show up chewing gum. He built up a great immune system! But we did start buying him gum instead!!
