Back in Mérida and the temp is 94°f with humidity of only 37%, pretty fantastic. It was about the same weather in La Havana while we were there. Interesting note, we were there when Fidel Castro died, quite an incredible and historical event.

I said I would put some pics of the old cars here.

First, view from our hotel room.

Welcome back Jonna .. when I heard Castro had died, I wondered about how it would all 'go down' there in so far as the people going into mourning for him.
LOVE the pics, especially the PINK car Thumbs up

Another rainy kinda day here .. dismal would about capture the feeling ..

TN is most certainly in a predicament ..

Off n running

Welcome back, Jonna! I agree with Marilynne about the pink car. I'm glad you all had fun Thumbs up

66F here this morning with a 25mph N wind. Humidity has dropped to 52% from 92% at bedtime. High today of only 75F. Sun should pop out around 11am, once the clouds/front has pushed all the way through.

Feels cold and getting colder here overnight, hovering in the mid to low 30's for several hours overnight and the forecast goes for the rest of the week. Seems winter really decided to come earlier this time around. Will be lucky to hit low 60's daytime, but it seems just to be in low to mid 50's now.

It is cold dry thankfully, so it is saving my succulents from going mush.

A balmy 18F, with a NW wind, and, ice pellets to start the day ..
Maybe the rain was better, but, NO, we still have roads closed as they are unsafe and impassable ..
Kooky weather ..

Going to find out how Lorna's new truck will do on ice, but,maybe I'll just take my car out as it has snow tires ..

Have a good one

Slippery winter roads are not fun. Be safe if you go out!

It's 71F here currently. Cloudy and dreary out there. High of only 74F today. We are supposed to have rain and storms Friday through Monday. We could use the rain, but I was hoping to get out down the National Seashore this weekend for a little getaway.

Had our bonus party last night for work and boy did I overdo it. I don't normally drink too much, but it's nice to unwind and let loose every once in a while. Open bar mixed with night before my birthday = not good decision making Whistling

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
