Beach Cruisin
The days may be getting shorter and you may be thinking about pulling your woolens out of storage. As for me, my sense of season is sometimes very askew. Since I moved closer to the beach, I tend to not quite think about even purchasing an overcoat until January. People are on their beach cruiser bikes through December. Actually, only people who are from out of town are on them in January.
There is that one week in January where the temperature dips to 30 for those two nights, I get out all my winter hats and overcoats and boots out. People think I am nuts, as it is only like that after 9:00 P.M. for a couple nights. The ones I think are strange are folks who come down here from the great white winter in the north. When its 50 degrees Fahrenheit out, they have spring fever and are running around in shorts.
On the other hand, when I go up there, people give me odd looks for being in a parka in October. They say that your blood thins when you live in the south because it is so warm. I don’t know what that really means, but all I know is that I have lost my ability to tolerate a real old fashioned Upper Peninsula/Minnesota/Upstate New York winter
