Irish oddities in warm weather!

In the realm of Ireland, warm sunny weather is often a rarity. This past weekend we experienced abnormally warm tempeatures. This caused some interesting things. If you happened to find your self near a coastal area you may have found yourself staring into an eery fog like something out of a hitchcock movie. But, comically I happened to be coming back from Brian McCann's birthday in Dundalk when I noticed an even more bizarre Irish habit of traffic watching. On almost every overpass ok the m1 between Dundalk and Dublin it was observed that countless people were watching the traffic. I don't know if it an Irish thing or not being able to cope with warm weather in thief own country but, the Irish people were drawn the the traffic rather than the nearest beach which must be told is no further than a 2 hours drive from any where in Ireland.
Oh well day four of the "heatwave" continues hope it holds.
