Homestead Cold Weather Alert

A cool day and a cold night:

Get ready for a brief 48-hour respite to all of this summer-like weather. Cooler air moves in early on Friday morning, and temperatures during the day on Friday will struggle to reach 70°F. Saturday morning will be our coldest morning with several hours (4 AM to 8 AM) of temperatures in and around Homestead in the lower-50s (perhaps some upper-40s within isolated farmland areas) with wind chills in the mid-40s. Much warmer and more humid air returns during the day on Sunday.

Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

If it’s Tuesday night – then you just know what I’m all about:

1.  After one of the coldest Novembers in South Florida in a century we are now experiencing extended summer-like weather conditions in December. Expect mid-afternoon temperatures in the upper-70s to the lower-80s for the unforeseeable future. Season’s Greetings !

2.  Some people do their best work while sitting down, but as far as I’m concerned public toilets are for standing up – not for sitting down. There’s only one place where I sit down – at home !

3.  I’ve already received about a half a dozen Christmas cards in the mail from friends across the free nation. Have no fear, for my Christmas cards will be going out via first class mail (hopefully) this weekend.

4.  I got a haircut today at Woody’s of Homestead. I’ve been going there since I was a kid in my late-20s. I recommend that joint to anyone who’s looking for a no-nonsense barber shop. Simple does it !

5.  Travis introduced me to La Cruzada Taqueria at Lunch today. It’s a cool little Mexican restaurant tucked away in a corner of Olde Historic Downtown Homestead. I delighted in a MASSIVE chimichanga with chicken inside and rice and beans. It was outrageously tasty. It was a MASSIVE Lunch, and in just a few more hours I’ll be partaking in a MASSIVE Dinner at the house of Dr. J.T. & A.J. as we do Food, Fun, and Fellowship with my closest friends in Life. I dig that groove !

Thanks for sharing a small piece of your Tuesday night with me here on my blog.
