We thought yesterday was “Winter”. The temperatures were in the mid to low 50’s and of course the constant Texan wind was whipping around our legs, bodies, arms and heads. So, who knows what the wind chill was. Boots was in long pants but still in flip flops. Ruthi, the winter hold out with her head in the sand, was still in her shorts and shivering. Ruthi believes that if she has to resort to wearing her long pants it is truly Winter – no matter the temperatures or location!
Today, the temperature at 9am was 42⁰. That’s right 42⁰ with the ever present wind. It’s very cloudy so the hope for some sunlight to warm us is gone. Boots is using the stove to prepare dinner early. She was hoping the extra warmth would fool us into thinking we were really in Gulf Coast Texas. Climate Change is not doing so well for our retirement. We have even heard from friends in San Diego (where we were the last 3 winters) that it has been chilly there, too. So far, our experiment of trying Texas for the Winter is not going as well as we had hoped!
We know we can’t drive to Hawaii but how about Costa Rica???? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
