Thursday Ramble: Enjoying the Season

Is there a perfect climate, warm enough for the top down, cool enough to be comfortable?  A place where it is like that more than a few weeks in the spring and fall?  Probably the central coast of California, parts of Italy.  

Most of the places in the world that have an ideal climate are places everyone wants to live, hence expensive and crowded.  

If I won the PowerBall lottery, I would probably have apartments, small homes in several places so I could move with the weather.  I was talking with a friend recently who was headed in for an MRI.  We shared laying there going to our happy place. For her it was thinking about shopping, for me, the details of the boat I would buy if I won the lottery.  I get to thinking about that, and I drift off to sleep.  

I am a planner, this is good in that I generally have an idea where I am going, what I am doing, I have plans for retirement, I have thought about the details and the money.  I also plan for what I would do if my world was suddenly turned upside down.  Brains are strange things.  

There are a few weeks at this time of the year, to put the top down, enjoy it while it lasts.  Look forward to it and plan for its return.  

Summer is ok, but the heat gets to me.  Winter if fine for a few days, then I tire of it.  The shoulder seasons of spring and fall, are my time.  Savor the season.

  1. This is a pretty good climate for top-down driving much of the year. People tease San Geraldo about how cold he is in winter and hot he is in summer. And you KNOW how cold and hot it gets here. There are no extremes.

  6. Boy, I'm right there with you on this one. The summer here is too hot and parts of the winter can be chilly. I like the in-between parts the best.
