First I've seen the Sun in 3-1/2 weeks. How 'bout you?

I can't believe it's been two paychecks since I've seen actual sunshine. Downright depressing.


How long has it been since you've seen the Sun pop through the haze of winter?

I'd also like to do some preemptive hatin' on Maki for when he posts about his wonderful life at the beach.

I hate you, Maki. I despise you more than my frozen windows.







But I still love hot asian chicks.

Post some dude. Help me out of this winter slump. I need a reason to go on.

Sunshine? On my ride in to work. It's supposed to top out at around 72 today. I might grab a beer on a terrace somewhere for lunch.

It's been pretty blistering (for winter) around here. Lots of sunlight. I even saw kids playing in sprinklers!

We're creeping back towards the 70's here. Another couple weeks and it's shorts weather again.

it's cloudy today, actually. About 60 degrees. Nice and cool outside, but still warm enough that I don't need a jacket today.

That's why I left the Northeast.

Cool

-6 and -22 wc. Not great. I like this quote, spoken from a true WWW (warm weather wimp) We have a couple CA people in our band. I wear shorts at 50 on up, sometimes at 45.

Consider yourself lucky!

I've been wearing shorts all this week, basking in sunshine (and stepping over piles and piles of beads). I love winters in New Orleans.

It's been pretty cold here for the last while. It was -31 this morning when I went to work, -43 with the windchill. It's up to -27/-37 WC now.

I live in Portland.

Everyone knows the sun doesn't come out until April.
