Mike’itect Has to Pull Sheet Over Self After Awakening to 4:00 a.m. Breeze...
That’s right, last night in bed while turning over between sleep cycles I was awakened with a start by a clearly detectable breeze passing through the bedroom, bringing an almost noticable chill to the air.
Reacting quickly to the shock with a surprisingly clear mind, my first thought was to get up to close the lanai slider, but after I thought about it more calmly, decided instead to yank a corner of the sheet away from my sleeping wife’s clutches, enough at least to cover my upper torso. This one bold act furnished me enough warmth to drift back into sound slumber until morning.
Last night's disappointing temperatures did, however, give way today to warming conditions under clear skies, and a western swell, with surfing conditions expected to improve through the weekend.
Caution remains, as disruptions do not appear to be over yet. Temperatures are expected to dip down into the upper sixties tonight, before rising to a predicted high of 81 degrees by mid-day.
Offering comfort and helping provide a solid mooring to us in the midst of continuing weather uncertainties, is the perspicacity of this young beachboy:
“The worst day eating sand at the beach is better than the best day eating snow. Anytime, anyplace.”
