Happy Christmas Eve everyone. I got out of MT jail just in time to wish you all a wonderful holiday season, however you celebrate.

And if any of you celebrate festivus, a video of the feat of strength would be appreciated!

What is "MT jail"?

Haha. If you're genuinely curious, that's an explanation probably best done privately. I was trying to make light of a pretty silly situation.

About an hour after I read your, and Rich’s posts, a couple local guys stopped by to give us some dakine that they had grown us for a Christmas present.

I shared your posts with them. They laughed and said “Don’t you love it when people from the mainland, who maybe spent six months here, explain to us about the weather on Maui?”

Years ago, there was a great Sports Radio station here. I used to call them every day, became fairly well know from doing so.

The main radio host was also a sport’s reporter for the paper here. He had a family reunion every year in Buffalo New York. One hundred and sixty people.

Every year he would take his two sons and two of his nephews to a different Major League Baseball park for a game.

I was back in Boston at the time. He called me and asked if I could get him tickets to a Red Sox game as they all wanted to experience Fenway Park.

Two of my friends and three of my students worked there so I got him and the kids free tickets in very good seats, and a tour of Fenway Park the next day.

The week before they were to come I called him to see if he needed anything else.
While we were talking I told him Boston gets an average of three nasty heat waves each summer, fortunately for only three days each, but it’s nasty hot and even nastier humidity.

He laughed and said “I’m originally from Southern California, and have lived her for twenty five years now, trust me that heat and humidity do not bother me at all.”

Game night came. It was nasty. It was so humid the poor guy almost passed out. Kept saying, “this is crazy, how do you stand it?”

I walked them back to their hotel after the game. We passed one of those clock that showed the temperature. We were walking back at midnight. The temp was 91 degrees. But it was so humid him and the kids had to sit down twice and douse their heads from water bottles I had provided.

I still bust their chops to this day.

If you haven’t lived in both Maui and Boston, perhaps perception isn’t the right term to use on this particular comparison.

Hi Buka,
My point was not to tell you how the weather was around you, yet to point out that I thought Vegas was bone dry and the San Diego had humidity and I could detect it after the dryness of Vegas.
Flying from Michigan to South Cali is not as easy to detect.

Colorado and the elevated plain is usually dryer, even though they get snow in the mountains a lot go out for the powder which is dryer snow than packed wetter snow. I see why the Eskimos had multiple words for snow

No disrespect meant in my original nor in this post.

a balmy 25 and you are complaining?
Are you angling to get shunned?!

That's not complaining...that's just announcing the weather conditions.... might be a bit to cold for swimming..... but not to cold for sunbathing and a nice book outside
