If high fashion is your thing go for it! But if it doesn’t fit, don’t do it to belong. There is a beautiful woman reporter whose name I don’t recall… she has very short hair and wears it beautifully. She inspired me.

Thanks for the tip about long johns. You probably have very little need for them in Florida?

Fall is coming in deliciously here. I did get out on the paddleboard yesterday. Might be a couple of chances in the coming week, and then, it might be time for it to come inside for a winter nap.

Even in Florida! I’ve adapted to this climate over the course of 52 years. And temperatures below freezing, even snow, are not that rare. In the early 80’s a freak cold snap-approaching 4° for several days-broke water lines in office buildings, froze vegetation that would have started blooming in a few weeks, and closed a great extent of I-10. (Bridge freezes before road surface!)

I’ve camped in below freezing conditions (not recently) and appreciated all my warm gear. Long johns included! 😊

After the paddle board hibernates, do you ski? Trek with snow shoes when the snow requires/allows? Curl up by the fireplace, blanket tent optional?

All degrees of adaptation. 😁

I’ve not tried snowshoes… yet.
