I had to wear a jacket to walk the dogs this morning! It was only 59°F! Oh, the humanity! What am I going to do?

Oh, wait, it's going to be 82°F this afternoon. Nevermind.

I'm sure glad I don't live in Michigan any longer. I HATED my commute for my last two years there. I drove from Adrian to Sterling Heights five days a week. Look that up on your map program. There is no good route. I tried them all.

You were a LOT warmer than we were here in North Florida. We were 38 this morning and I was freezing! We're supposed to go to Stone Mountain the day after Christmas, I'm hoping it's a little warmer than forecast!

Ah, but we do. It's called reality. How else would one explain the lack of chatter other than BS standing for Beautiful Sunshine?
