Yes, Charley, but that is just the regular thaw for this time of year. It is Old Man Winter's trick. He gets you thinking about spring and then hits you with another two and a half months of cold and snow and ice. Yesterday we sat in a warm breeze sipping iced tea and watch the Pacific swells break on the reef. There was a slatting sound from the coconut palms. We were warm and comfortable and happy. The sun was bright and hot but we were in the shade. Not too shabby.

Once we get settled you and Judy should come for a visit. We can sit under the carport and share music and enjoy swatting what these people call mosquitoes. The local mosquitoes are no real threat. A near miss makes them faint.
