Enjoy it while we can

For those of us in the RGV (Rio Grande Valley of Texas) who enjoy cold winter days, we better get outside today. A high of 68 is predicted with 80's for the foreseeable future. Been aiming to clean my AC filter but haven't had much opportunity this Winter.

    When I job interviewed in Corpus some years ago, I asked what folks did in the winter. The answer was "If it comes on a weekend, we clean our lawn mowers."
    I laughed and thought they were kidding. They weren't, mostly.

    We have been down south the previous two winters, and it was very cold the whole winter. I dont think global warming is to blame for one warm spell. Its almost -30 celcius here in Ontario today. 80 degrees F sounds pretty good right now.

    Global warming is the exactly correct term.

    It’s been very nice! Especially considering back home it’s in the 20’s.

    One warm Winter has nothing to do with politics.
