We just finished the third day of perfection: Temp right at 70F, light breeze, bright sun- enough to make me seek the shady side of the street- people lying in the sun, sleeping on the grass.

Very confusing to our cruiseship touri- people with their heavy jackets tied around their hips, hair tied back off the neck. This is not the kind of weather they were warned against.

If our weather was like this half the time, we'd have a million people trying to live here. So thanks be that we don't...
