The cooler WEATHER does continue but...

Can we really complain to the rest of the country?
Hubby says YES!
Why, you ask? Because this is not the rest of the country; this is F-L-O-R-I-D-A!
Forties at night and sixties during the day, it just aint right, ya know?
It is at least fifteen degrees below normal for this time of the year.

But there is hope at the end of this tunnel of chills and thrills, NOT!
Where was I?
Oh, yes H-O-P-E this weekend we should be seeing mid-seventies again…Halleluiah my friends, yep right here in River City, well not actually, but you know what I mean… W-A-R-M-T-H and that rhymes with, what does that rhyme with …cough?
Nah, warmth does not cause a cough it causes health and wealth because it means more tourists will spend their dough which rhymes with ho, no that should be hoe for the land will be swell and we all won’t go to hell…O, because we can sell all of our stuff, like homes and condos and furnishing and food in the dear sweet restaurants and our people will thrive with jobs abundant and on and on and on… you all know the way that goes…on and on and on again, oh peace and joy for all!

Now back to reality, yes the weather here does play a major part on our tourist industry, but that’s nothing new. Why after those two years of hurricanes you couldn’t give tickets away to most of the amusement parks without initiating a legit refund promise situation.
Fortunately that’s old news and part of our darker history, sorry I brought it up that was five and six years ago! Old wounds take time to heal though.

I was amazed and slightly shocked to see something that threw me, tourists on the news in bathing suits and in our sixty-three degree temperature Gulf water! What are they crazy?
That’s hypothermia water, isn’t it?
I guess when you pay for the trip down here you want to do whatever it takes to take advantage of the sunshine, which I must admit is back, and quite beautiful as it always is with our crisp blue skies, but I hope they all have great health insurance because I think what they are doing may be dangerous or injurious to their well-being.
It seems so long ago that we were once them as well… oh the days of non-residency, how truly sad. Now, at least we have the time and patience to wait the weather in-appropriates behavior out without concern of having to leave at any particular time restraints. We are fortunate to be here and watch it as it all comes back to where it should be sunny and so warm it literally knocks your socks off! And it does matter since its warm enough for that, and sandals, or barefoot or bathing suits or nothing at all if you so choose…LOL
The true unadulterated F-L-O-R-I-D-A, wait in that outfit …adults only please! LOL
Or and make sure it’s allowed wherever you go or you could be arrested!

Silliness is back folks and I will continue to try to maintain the standard, and I hope you enjoy…Good night to all and to count those blessings and we will too!
