    Tomorrow we have a low of 18 and a high of 24.

    Guess who left his jacket at school? I guess dad’s driving him in.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

        Not with a windchill of 3. It’s 20+ minutes.

        Thank you for your attention to this matter.

            With his second of at least 3 or 4 jackets dad! Heck, I have a closet full of them and I live in the land of sweltering heat. Our winters have changed, if you can call it Winter here. We haven't seen the thermometer dip under 32 in maybe 4 years? It used to be a regular thing in January, to the point of worry for the citrus growers, who ripe fruit can be ruined on one cold night. It's why many orange orchards have windmills scattered throughout. Moving the air warms it enough to stop freezing the oranges. Then there's the rogue windy rainstorm that can come in March when the blossoms on all the stone fruit are in full bloom. A bad enough storm can ruin a year's profit in peaches, nectarines, and plums. Grapes, the other predominant fruit here seem to be impervious to the weather and we waste them anyways and lay them on the ground to dry out into raisins. Oh wait, yes, a rogue rainstorm can do much damage to fruit on the ground, but that is rare in August.

                NS - when I lived in central Florida as a kid on very cold nights the orange growers would set up special propane heaters and place them as a grid between each square of 4 trees. Each tree then had a heater in all four sides.

                Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                  Re extra coats - he outgrows his too often to have extras, his main coat which he doesn’t like is at his mom’s and he’s been using one of mine which is the one he left at school. I don’t have another adequate to the task (except the one I wear every day) as I recently purged pre-move. I’m a bit of a minimalist like that.

                    @taiwan_girl thank you TG. I am well and hope the same for all here. I did take the opportunity to buy all the popcorn I could find before the upcoming shortages on Janurary 21st. Butter's going up too, you can bet on it. 🙂

                      @jon-nyc I am in the midst of a decluttering myself. And it feels sooo good! Minimalist living is becoming a desire of mine. As long as the sea and the piano are near at hand. 😉

                      I neglected to acknowledge the growth spurts of a lad his age. I understand completely.

                          Speaking of winter coats, it's 2 degrees with windchill, and all my bloody stupid dog wants to do is run around in the back yard.

                          I was only joking
