It is a balmy 14 today in the Yacht Club Basin. Break out the shorts for next Thursday as the high will be high 40's. My poor bulbs are horribly confused. This fast friendship with winter is now over.........I must be getting old the cold in not my friend. These 4 degree temps are a nightmare. Can't wait for the gas bill.
