No, I'm not flipping to some movie scene in my head when I see surfboards attached to the roof of a car. Nor am I halucinating or witnessing some freakish or rebelious act against contrary weather or environmental conditions. These surfboard spottings are a rather common occurrence, even in the month of November. After all, it's sunny, high 60's to 70 and there is an ocean quite near by! Amazing but true!
I'm teaching myself not to think first about snow issues when I navigate a steep driveway or winding downhill highway. And today I was even surprised to see down coats in a store's display window. (Of course I have to remember that there will be skiing available in the not too distant future - after taking a little drive.) But there will be no snow on the landscape for me this winter. Will I miss it? Probably. But I don't know if I'll miss 6 feet of it for 5 months. Time will tell. Now what do I do with my wool sweaters?!
I also have to admit that I'm beginning to feel a little naked down here in Santa Cruz land - without a tattoo. But I think the reality check will stop there! No tattoos for me in the foreseeable future. In case you wanted to know!
