If I understand the local laws correctly, Meryl, you have to have your top on if the car top is off…

The unseasonable warmth (only 64F here, though) is wonderful for the cats– they’ve been delighted to be able to sun themselves by open windows rather than having everything closed up to keep in the heat.

Believe me, Ed, these university years everything was better: the weather, the food, the teeth, not to mention the fact that the girls were smiling…

In the early 60s I was at Brandeis University, and the winters were COLD. In January, we had a thaw and walked around in sandals, Bermuda shorts, and t-shirts.

While we are enjoying the warmth in the NorthEast, Denver is buried under a third blizzard, and my friends in Australia are experiencing a record cold summer.

Climate has never been a constant. Our winters have been later and milder and spring, later and cooler.

In Minneapolis Minnesota its been in the high 30′s to low 40 range for several weeks. Much better then the “average” low 20′s [and typical sub zero -15 this time of year].
I am thinking of taking my 6 month old Vette out for a cruise if it hits 40 degrees [the summer tires on this car are worthless for

Last night at 11:30 I was taking my dog for his last walk and it was so nice I took the top down on my convertible and went for a ride down the GW Parkway to Mt Vernon. He likes it too so it was a good end to his walk.
So at midnight in early January I was cruising around with the top down, no jacket and the heat off.

I’m sure we’re going to pay for this soon, but I have another fine day of cruising my convertible around today too.
