It's Here, It's Finally Here!

Before                               After

For days now I have seen on television and read in the newspaper about the sudden and unusual polar cold front that was moving through the country. Very odd to have temperatures in the teens in Chicago, in November. Some places dropped into single digits and measureable snow fell across the north. Meanwhile here in Florida, the temperatures remained in the mid eighties during the afternoon for the last week. Almost too warm. Yesterday I looked at the thermometer and saw that it was seventy four degrees outside, cool enough to do some painting. So I got out the green paint, the paint brushes, and all the other tools I would need to spruce up the house. I began by painting my front tenant's door. Halfway through painting that door, sweat started rolling down my face, and my pits began to moisten up. The thermometer had risen to seventy seven degrees. I forged on despite the heat. When I finished the tenant's door I worked on the front gate that was also to be painted green. Halfway through painting the front gate I noticed that the wind had picked up, and before I knew it the temperature was dropping rapidly. The big cold front had finally arrived in Florida. I quickly finished painting the gate, and packed it in for the day because the temperature had dropped to a bone chilling sixty six degrees. Brrr.... I'm still not completely sold on moving back north next year, and this isn't helping.
