Pre-Dawn Shivers
48 F right now in Mulege at 8:40 A.M....
......but was 40 F at 6:00 at Coyote ...and that's a mite coolish.
The down comforter was very comforting.
"Hey Down, could you bring me another cup, por favor?"
So ...What's the temp in your neck of the woods?

48° was the low on this side of the peninsula this am, 39° a couple days ago.
The casa construction is about 2/3 completed now. The house plans began many years ago and the major focus back then were designs to keep it cool
during hot weather. After the last 2 years of being cold most of the time, we've had to scramble to make changes and hope we can keep it warm enough.
Is it possible to pick up a concrete block house and move it farther south? If this pattern of cold weather, cold water and lack of surf persists we
may move ourselves to other horizons so we can enjoy our activities while we have some flexibility remaining. Nobody ever warned me that when
you start getting old, it happens fast! Bring on the Niño.

Ya sure, yabetcha, Kurt. Folks who are shivering at anything higher than -10 below are just plain whoosies.
Why, when it got over 15 in December, we'd break out the fishing gear and head to Lake of the Woods!

oladuce, I am planning on a few extra bedrooms in mi Panama casa to accomodate frostbitten BajaNomads from Baja Sur.
Come enjoy the heat..and FISHING!
....OR...you might get as fortunate as these folks Up North.
Weather related true story:
The Ole Torgerson family owned a small farm in Canada, just yards away from the North Dakota border. Their land had been the subject of a minor
dispute between the United States and Canada for generations. Mrs. Torgerson, who had just celebrated her ninetieth birthday, lived on the farm with
her son and three grandchildren.
One day, her son came into her room holding a letter.
"I just got some news, Mom," he said. "The government has come to an agreement with the people in Washington. They've decided that our land is really
part of the United States. We have the right to approve or disapprove of the agreement. What do you think?"
"What do I think?" his mother said.
"Jump at it! Call them right now and tell them we accept! I don't think I could stand another one of those Canadian winters!"

Low of the season so far, over here. 35.6 degrees F. I expect colder the next couple nights as a high pressure builds in behind yesterday's front that
brought rain. We will probably approach freezing.
As stated before, we are about a mile from the water............which, BTW, is now under 60 F, for the first time since I have lived here. I did see
55 F water the first time I visited in 2002 or something like that.

I am often accused by friends here on the sunny California Central Coast of exagerating the weather where we grew up. I graduated high school in 1962
(Deer River, Mn) and remember that winter as especially nasty. I decided to do a bit of internet searching to see if my memories were correct or if
it really wasn't that bad. Well, it was THAT BAD! On 1/10/1962 in Bemidji, just west of us a bit, it was minus 50f and the average low temp for
January was minus 12f. We're not talking those phony wind chill numbers but actual temps. Those low temps were usually early in the morning just
about the time I had to go from the house to the barn to take care of the critters and milk cows, I stopped looking at the thermometer along the way
because I just got tired of seeing minus 35 degrees. In January 1963 I was in Monterey, Ca where I saw Christmas lights hanging from palm trees and I
decided that I would never again live where palm trees could not grow.

Panama is good for government subsidized programsfor immigrants, the dollar used as currency, and weather that doesn't ever change.
Just wondering, inasmuch as you are planning to live there, whether you chose to be in the highlands, or on one of the coasts.

Stinson Beach weather
Some get away :-)
33 °F ..... less than a few blocks from the Pacific.
The Farm in Sacramento was 23°F this early a.m.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
