The cold weather is here! The cold weather is here! As I write this at 2:21 PM, it is 62 degrees outside, sunny and clear. I have the sliding glass door wide open. It’s supposed to go down to the low forties tonight. Folks, this is what I wait all year for, those few nice crisp days in Florida that don’t make me feel as if I was wearing an extra layer of heated slime. I actually feel like a human being instead of some sort of swamp-dwelling amphibious creature. (“Florida is a witch! She turned me into a newt!”) I can’t wait until I move up north. Oh sure, summers will still be dire in the Mississippi Valley, but the wonderful cold weather will last longer, I will get a real, authentic autumn, and then I’ll get snow!
Oh well, off to the store for food. I feel like homemade beef-vegetable soup.

Did you leave the “minus” off that temperature, or do you live in some godforsaken hellhole like Florida or something?
