We finally hit below 70F in the wee hours. It's 70F now at about 9 a.m. Unfortunately, we'll be back in high 80s by end of week.

Found out last night that one of my uncles passed away, I was told today that he was in a pub with a pint watching rugby when he went, it was quick and he was having a good time.

Sad and happy faces.

Sorry to read about that, Lullabelle. I don’t suppose there are ever “good” circumstances for that to happen, just some that are better than others.

It’s 45F/8C here.

We got down to 45F/7C overnight. It is 67F inside my house right now. Long time Florida residents would be bundled up like the Michelin Man at these temperatures.

I wouldn't be bundled up like the Michelin Man, but i would be wearing a little heavier clothing or have a throw over my legs while sitting down. I've been in Florida for almost 50 years.

My condolences.
But that's how I want to go, too!

When I go, I want to pass peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather did, not screaming in terror like the other people in his car.

Or folks from Hawaii!
It was 70° in the house the other morning and we both said that we were freezing and did bundle up like the Michelin Man!!!

We are getting it soon, according to the new yard signs in our neighborhood. The City of Frisco put a hold on new AT&T Fiber over a year ago because the crews kept breaking gas lines -- well over a hundred of them.
