Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

A Tuesday night tradition since 2007 continues …

1.  It’s a chilly day in April here in America’s Riviera. We didn’t even crack the 75°F mark this afternoon, and temperatures early tomorrow morning should plummet into the upper-40s !  It’ll be another chilly day tomorrow too (below 75°F again).

2.  It’s hard to believe that just 24 hours ago it was nearly 90°F outside (and in my living room as well). Next month 90°F will be a normal afternoon here, and our unusually long and chilly winter season will be a distant memory.

3.  Hopefully we won’t be talking much about these boys and girls later this year – Ana, Bill, Claudette, Danny, Erika, Fred, Grace, Henri, Ida, Joaquin, Kate, Larry, Mindy, etc., etc., etc.

4.  ‘Hey Chris – Why are you all dressed up today ?’  I got that several times at work today. It happens every time I go out to the stores and treat myself to new clothes (which doesn’t happen very often). It’s all good. I’m sharp like that. 8)

5.  I know that I’ve been putting this off since essentially last September (when my previous longtime Doctor disappeared into thin air), but I still need to search for a General Family Practice Doctor here in the greater Homestead area. I’m looking for a regular male M.D. that speaks and understands fluent English that is within about 10 years of my age. He obviously needs to be able to accept new customers (some don’t) as well as accept bonafide certified genuine BCBS medical insurance. Send me any legitimate tips that you may have. I’m approaching my 42ND birthday. Elvis Presley died of the mother of all MASSIVE heart attacks at the ripe young age of 42. Need I say more ?

Monday Night Countdown

I’ve been sitting here at home all day long on an unscheduled day off from work waiting as A.C. technicians ultimately remove and replace my longtime condensing unit outside with an all-new modern and efficient one.

Here are the TOP 5 advantages of this particular situation:

5.  I have actual South Florida subtropical weather right here in my living room with all-time record high temperatures approaching the upper-80s and heat indices well into the 90s !

4.  I actually see cumulonimbus clouds forming at approximately 12 feet above ground level here in my living room. I may have to issue myself a severe thunderstorm watch for the northern suburbs of my living room.

3.  Simple Math – (88°F + 58% RH) = moist soft skin to die for !

2.  I planned this all along in a dire effort to lose the remaining half-dozen pounds to get back to my longtime fighting weight of the mid-to-upper-160s.

1.  With the $600 that I spent getting my car repaired last Monday and the $2,600 that I spent on this Monday to get my A.C. replaced it now appears that I need a bailout from the Federal Government. I’ll ask for one when I go back to work tomorrow morning.

Homestead Cold Weather Alert

This could be the season finale of what has truly been an unusually chilly and dry winter season aqui en America’s Riviera.

A powerful late-season cold front of Western Canadian origin approaches us later today with actual frontal passage early on Tuesday morning. Tuesday and Wednesday will be much cooler with highs only reaching the mid-70s. On Wednesday morning actual air temperatures should drop into the upper-40s here in Homestead / Florida City with low-40s possible deep into the Everglades. Wind chills will be in the mid-40s across much of South Florida (upper-30s for the ‘gators out in the Everglades) for at least a few hours on Wednesday morning.
