the temperature is 58°

last night the weather broke and we opened the windows, remembering the reason we live in South Florida...

summers are strange and amnesic here, and they wipe clear one's memory of winter, obliterating tactile recall and leaving you with nothing more than a lumpy, uncertain faith that mild weather will return. when that first cool night of autumn arrives, it is a vision of the Madonna...

i wonder if the tall, wobbling prostitute in the crosswalk last night was a harbinger. perhaps she was Mary herself...

  1. ...but that is beside the point. The point is that every day would be a vision of Madonna if you migrated the Bay area (the Mediterranean climate) where the weather is characterized by relatively small temperature variations during the year, with cool foggy summers and mild rainy winters.
    Basically year round 65 degree bliss.
