COLD PART 2

Okay already, enough is enough, don’t ya’all think? (Sorry, my southern transplant garnish slang is showing; or is that garish?)
They are saying we’re just in the beginning of it, the cold that is, and things may be taking a turn for the worst! Yep, the meteorologists say colder than this, FREEZING ALL OVER OUR STATE, the Sunshine State of COLD NON TROPICAL WEATHER, even saying it aloud sounds wrong, another announcement here and consequently no tourists are on their way down either…I DEMAND A RECOUNT! Of the temperature degrees' numbers, perhaps they were read upside down or sideways?
WHAT?
This is a semi-tropical climate that I retired my body to and now you tell me it would have been easier to grow old in NEW JERSEY without a major move and still have the same climatic changes? (Ooops, but you know what I am trying to say, right?)
HUH?

This isn’t right, no matter what everyone is saying…where’s my GLOBAL WARMING MR.G?
Maybe if he was allowed to become president back in 2000, when he was unjustly robbed of that by now we would know what IS GOING ON, I bet I am right on that one?

Any-who we, Hubby and I went out to stock up on warmer things to wear due to this outpouring of nasty coldness! We have not wanted to agree to that possibility but sadly ‘you guys’ won…whoever you are? Are those weather cold makers the same ones that ‘they’ are, you know, the ‘you guys’?

Moving on… I am very sorry that I am carrying on so about our weather that I like to think can usually be counted on at this time of the year as being close to perfection, you know how I hate being a liar, and this is making me one heck of a BIG ONE!
And so I wrote to the chamber...(not really, but I might)


Dear Southwest Florida Chamber of Commerce:

So sorry but there are no recommendations coming out of this gal until ‘you guys’ give us better weather news, OK? I feel that if something could be done I would be at the head of that line to make it happen for you all know what an ardent supporter I have been in the past of clearing the air with any misrepresentations that may have made the airwaves, but sadly this time there is not much I can do!
It’s all over the news… locally and nationally… WE ARE COLD and getting colder than even dare I say, FREEZING is the word around the block!
No way to hide this mess.
Once the thermometers decide to cooperate with our true history and reputation of being a semi-tropical paradise I will be on my horn, screaming it politely to the world at large, you got me forever and at the words…TROPICAL BREEZES!
Remember I was one of the first to let the world know that we only have suntan oil on our beaches here no other oily residue or any at oil, huh!
I love this place and we NEED our tourists and Snow Birds to love being here too, and so I will do my utmost wishing and praying for the cold to disperse and I will try hard for all my followers to do the same and perhaps with the super pack of peeps that are usually very happy ones we will accomplish what no one else has been able to bring us back up to the seasonal norms of mid to upper seventies and lows only in the fifty or sixty range, ok you guys, are you listening?
In conclusion as you have always known I am there for you when things get to where we can honestly have our bragging rights of perfection.
And I will definitely get on to my Soap Box, and do your bidding to make it all, all right once again.

Sincerely with much concern you’re honorable participator in all good weather related endeavors,

Tobi (a woman with a cause…)

On that note of trying to change the world one word at time I will wish you all a very happy good night and to all count those blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, OK?
