Well it was 32C (92F) in Margate on the Kent coast in England last Saturday, an unexpected surprise return to a summer heatwave but very shortlived. Pissing down with rain and cool again on Sunday in London

There is no statewide law against public nudity here in California. Many municipalities have them but San Francisco does not. On a warm afternoon, take a stroll along Castro Street or Eighteenth Street or hang out (so to speak) at the mini park where the streetcars turn around at Castro and Market Streets and it won't be long before you see a naked man. Indeed, you'll probably see several.

Recently there was legislation proposed by Supervisor Scott Wiener (yes, that's really his name) to require naked people to put a towel down on a chair or bench before sitting down and to prohibit serving naked people in restaurants and bars, but not to prohibit public nudity. It wasn't even considered.

Famous events in which nudity is an attraction are the Bay-to-Breakers foot race in May, the Gay Freedom Day Parade in June and the Castro Street Fair and the Folsom Street Fair, both in September or October.
