Oh my goodness - what a perfect December day! The high today was in the mid-70s, crisp bright blue sky, low humidity, light breeze. A beautiful day! It's been mostly gray the last few days, so this was a nice change.
The outing for today: no boat, no beach, no motorcycing - we drove into the city to finish up the Christmas shopping. On the bright side, I was able to find exactly what I was looking for to make Joan's present: whoa, I almost said what it is, and there is always the chance that she might read this. ;-)
In the valley, the temp was in the mid-80s. A cold front came through last night... you wouldn't know it from the temps, but the light wind changed to out of the northeast and the humidity dropped way down. REALLY nice. Tonight, with the low humidity, we are going to see a 20 to 25º change in temperature from the daytime high. With the dew-point so low, it allows the heat to escape during the night. Should be a good night for sleeping... without the air conditioning running.
I like December in the Tropical Tip.
Side note: Joan went to the grocery store this morning. On her way back, driving across the swing bridge, she was treated to a dolphin show - right off the side of the bridge. People were standing on the bridge, watching. The bridge tender was outside watching. When she got home, she said, "Wouldn't it be great if it was someone's first time here and they were treated to that as they drove onto the island?" Pretty special, even for long-timers, too. :-)
