Today, we ask a simple question for our Friday GeoQuiz.
It is simply, what's the weather like in Mexico City today?
Is the answer:
A) 68 degrees
B) 71 degrees
C) 74 degrees
D) 79 degrees
Amazingly enough, it is cooler there than is here along the Virginia-North Carolina border!
Mexico City was the host to the 1968 Summer Olympics.
I visited the city in 2007, but we didn't do much traveling around the area because we were afraid of going out at night due to the city's reportedly high crime rate.
We dedicate today's entry to the students at Northridge High School in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where Dr. Isaac Espy is the principal. Somehow, we doubt that ESPN's awards the ESPYs were named after him.
SIDEBAR:
Wanna see some Shakespeare this weekend? Well, The American Shakespeare Center in Staunton, Va., (editorial comment: we prefer their old name Shenandoah Shakespeare) is performing "The Taming of the Shrew" on Saturday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. In the evening, they will be performing my favorite Shakespearean play, the great tragedy "Othello," which takes place in Cyprus. "Othello" will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Rene Thorton Jr. takes on the title role while Sarah Fallon plays his wife Desdemona and Benjamin Curns plays everybody's favorite villian Iago. In a recent fictitious Internet survey, Iago placed third behind Gargamel ("The Smurfs") and Darth Vader when it came to the most lovable basterds* of all time.
