I know this makes me old… to the likes of Elliot…and even Templo….
but my sister and I broke my Mom’s favorite Perry Como 78,
while fighting over who got to play what record next.
My parents also owned a few LP’s….
But when I started buying records, it meant saving my baby-sitting money for a new 45 ..
and carrying it around in my little pink padded plastic album…
embossed with pictures of blonde, pony-tailed teens in poodle skirts.
As for weather… last week it dipped below freezing late at night….
25°F ( about -5C°) or so… but only for a few hours at a stretch.
This week….
and the cloud cover keeps the temps around 50° F…. which is 10° C..
But we suffer, we do…. cos it’s all in what you’re used to…..
and in N. Calif most of us don’t have winter jackets, storm windows, or furnaces.
I’m sure you’re all really sympathetic.

This week….
it’s raining raining raining (a great thing after 4 years of drought) …and the cloud cover keeps the temps around 50° F…. which is 10° C..
