  3. Oh my..that's a good one!  When we go to southern California, if it's 60 something & maybe rain is predicted....we head for Disneyland, because no one will be there. And if they are, they'll be in the parkas.  We may have a light jacket over a cotton, short sleeve shirt.  Linda in Washington state

  5. I got some big chuckles out of this one.  That's like in Arizona they think 90 degrees in September is a cold spell.  People in Scotland would get heat stroke.

  6. Too funny!  Doesn't look like I'd survive very long in Scotland.  Wonder how my ancestors fared?!!  I live in Florida and if the temp drops to 60, we start pulling out our woolies!!  LOL.  Slight exaggeration, of course, but close!!  Blessings, Linda
