Nailed It

When we’re traveling to a location looking for better weather, it makes no sense at all to check back to learn what the weather is like back home.  But we do it.  When we vacation in Florida in the winter, I often check the weather in Cary, and, if it’s cold, I mention it to Aloma, and we talk about how lucky we are to be in Florida.  We just returned from a week in Cashiers, North Carolina (elevation 4,000 ft.).  The low temperatures in the mornings were in the mid-60s and the highs for the day were in the mid-70s.  Every evening, a shower or thunderstorm would move through while we were enjoying a drink on our covered deck.  It was perfect.  Meanwhile, back in Cary. temperatures were in the mid-90’s with a comfort index in the mid-100’s.  A heat advisory was issued on most days.

Fortunately, we’re not the kind of people who pester their friends back home with reports of our beautiful weather.  Well, that’s not exactly true.  We did send a photo to Jennifer of her mother wearing a heavy sweater on the deck overlooking mountain woods.  And maybe we mentioned it to a few friends.  But not that many.

Boy, we sure nailed this vacation.

Seasoned man
