Thankful for... flip-flops?

A Thanksgiving riddle for you:

Q: Why do people in Florida wear flip-flops to shop for Thanksgiving dinner?

A: Because they won't let us shop barefoot, and those are the
shoes we keep in the car.

Yeah, I know -- not very funny. Really, it's only funny when it suddenly occurs to you in the grocery. Shopping for turkey in flip-flops.

It's official. It's gloating season:

From the WESH 2 Weather Team, Central Florida's Most Accurate Forecast
4:23 pm EST, 11/25/2010

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Isolated shower chance along the coast. Low near 63. Winds SSE 5-10.

FRIDAY: Cool front moving closer with afternoon showers possible. Breezy and warm with increasing clouds. High 83. Winds SW 10-20.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers. Low near 62. Winds SW to NW 5-15.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy skies and cooler with a few scattered showers. High 75. Winds NNE 10-15.

Brr. Only 75 on Saturday? I hope I don't have to wear socks!

It's childish. I know. But remember last summer when I only wanted to die from the ridiculous heat? Our Fine State has only three seasons: Summer (March to April), Hell (May to September), Summer (October, November), and Jacket Weather (December to February). Notice how we have eight months of hot weather? Yeahhh. And only four of those are actually livable?

So, this Thanksgiving, I give thanks mostly for summer weather. And flip-flops.

OK, yeah, I'm jealous right now. We had a cold front move through last night. Yesterday it was 79 degrees and wonderful. Today the high was 46, and it's 29 right now. TWENTY-NINE. That's about fifty degrees below decent weather. I hate winter.
