A hot day in March
I heard on the radio yesterday that today was going to be a beautiful, warm spring day!
The announcer was talking about the pshycology of saying, "... the high temps will be about 68 tomorrow..." as opposed to saying, "...the temp will be about 70 tomorrow..." "People, he said, don't think too much about the high 60's but when you say it is going to be 70, watch out!"
That is certainly true here in the PNW. It hits high 60's and the shorts are on, the lawns are mowed, sandles come out (with socks on) and we convienently forget about last weeks torrential rains along with hail and lows in the high 30's. I have to include myself in this mentality. Heck, I am ready to put up the pool, call some friends over for a BBQ and hang out on the patio; until it gets cold as the sun goes down.
Ah wells, the tease of Spring and warm and sunny days.
They say it's back to rain tomorrow...
