At around 5:00 p.m., when I left downtown, the sky was partially cloudy, and the temperature was an amazing 69 degrees Fahrenheit. No rain, although it had come down earlier.

This has to be some sort of record for December. Our community's master plan to become a tropical resort by 2050 is proceeding apace.

Of course, tomorrow the temperature will have dropped more than 35 degrees, but it sure feels good right now. I hear the Chinese are purchasing more and more automobiles. Good for them.
