It's 30 degrees here in Tulsa. I think I might just hate you
When does the global warming start?

cold weather coming though
It wasnt 78 in Escondido, it hit a high here of 82. But, it is cooling way down to a freezing 71 tomorrow. Yes, a beautiful week here in So Cal. Bikes everywhere, women in bikinis on the beach, the Chargers rock the NFL, but back to work on Monday. I guess somewhere it could better but where????? Mike in Sun Diegomike

Was out and about today getting groceries and stuff, the temp on the Mazda's rearview said 17ºF. Saw a guy on his new bolt-a-chrome "chopper" (I am thinking it was a Victory) with blue jeans and a hoodie and some really cool looking bugeye glasses. He pulled on the main street, hammered it for about 1/2 a second, then slowed back down to about 15 mph. I am guessing he wasn't aware that wind chill works when its you moving instead of the wind.Ich habe dich nicht gefragt.

I was out and about shopping as well. The difference is that the temp was around 55 with the sun peeking out every once in a while. I was also out on the bike doing the shopping. I'm really enjoying being in california right now, even if it's the northern part and a little colder than the guys down south are getting it right now.Cy
