Eat your hearts out guys. Sunday morning's record low in Gainesville (48) blew away the old record by eight degrees (sorry, Mr. Gore). It is 52 here this morning.
Nothing like sleeping with the windows open! It's 68 here in the house. What I've been doing is closing the windows around 9am to keep the cool air in. My house is pretty well insulated. Even though it got up into the mid-80's yesterday, the air never kicked on until around 3pm.
There's a hint of smoke but not too bad. We had two beautiful rains last week - about an inch Sunday and more like two on Thursday. We're thankful for what we've had but we need oh so much more.
This surely must be spring's last hurrah. All-in-all, a gorgeous weekend!

I am your normal, middle-class, "working Joe". But I am also a capitalist and believe that nothing good comes from socialistic entitlement programs. I believe in hunting down and killing terrorists like the little rats that they are (except that that statement is denigrating to rats). I grew up in a very conservative household and was fortunate enough to have had a conservative American Government teacher (a retired US Army colonel) who helped to show me the "right" way. Are there things that I would like to change? Absolutely. But NOT the kind of "change" being espoused by Hillarock Obaminton. I have lived in Florida for forty of my forty-eight years. I've been a big Pink Floyd fan since my teen years hence the moniker, FloydFreak. My friends call me Freak, Floyd, and FF. The libs call me a neocon. I wear that badge proudly. Please note that I enjoy engaging in spirited discussion - even with those with whom I disagree. There are a number of individuals on these boards whom I respect even if I DO think that they're out of touch with reality. Please note also that I do not tolerate personal attacks on my character. If you think that I'm full of BLEEP, you have the right to say so. But drag my character into the gutter and expect retaliation in kind with FloydFreak's own brand of sarcasm. Keep it civil and we'll get along fine. To those of you that see good in America and want the OPPORTUNITY for prosperity for all - and do not just seek to soak it to "the rich", I say God bless you. And God bless America!
