Do we know about Shopgirl ? (warning: that page has sound) Steve Martin, Claire Danes and Jason Schwartzman.

I like pulling him around by his little neck.

How warm does El Nino get the ocean?

[link] This says the warm water mass was 70-85F, but I don't know if that's actually measured. It was plenty warm enough to go swimming around at Pt Dume completely comfortably.
