It’s Relative

 10-31-2013

Today is what I call the first perfect day. Well at least the morning is.

Last night a “cold” front came through triggering some violent thunderstorms. This morning I could walk the ¼ mile to my 7:00 am class without being sweating upon arrival. There is even a cool breeze.

The major topic of students waiting for the class to begin is how cold they are. When I talk about a furnace, they think I am crazy. When I talk about walking on ice and worse driving cars on ice, they know I am crazy.

Of course, they all want to see snow and get a lighter complexion. Just try to explain to equatorial Africans that people where I live are beginning to think about hotter places and getting darker.
