This ain't tropical

I realize that I live in a tropical paradise, particularly climate-wise, and that grumbling about the weather seems awfully obnoxious when many of my readers are living with below-freezing temps, snow and ice, but still. . .

It was a chilly (for us) 64° this morning at 8:30am. Before you all sneer righteously, that's about 10° below normal, and we're not used to it. Why, any tropical resident will tell you: "we don't even need to take blood thinners for medical conditions; our blood's gotten thinner just by living here!"

Today's dress: corduroys, sweatshirt, socks.

As one of those living with the snow and ice and recently below zero temps...no sneering here. After a summer of upper 80s and 90s, the first 60-something degree day sends me running for the fuzzy socks, sweatshirt, and jeans, too. It is brutal when you're not acclimated. I hope you warm up soon.

Thank you. It's now (3 1/2 hours later) 82 degrees.
