36 Degrees!
Published December 21st, 2006 in Me.36 Degrees — I get in the car this morning and the temperature readout says “36 degrees outside - delay“
I drive for a few minutes and suddenly the car’s whole readout display starts blinking ‘delay, delay, delay’, then it starts timing down from two minutes - at which point it pops out 36 degrees… again.
This must be a Californian car, because it apparently decides that can’t be right. So it starts freaking out again and blinking ‘delay, delay, delay’ and the two minute timer reappears. It finally settles on 36 degrees yet again.
Third time’s a charm. Then, the car panicked. It must have been worried about me. The heater fan went bejerk - seriously blew the curl outta my coifffure. L.A. Toddler’s screaming from the back “Too much wind, mommy; too much wind!”
This is LOS ANGELES, for crying out loud. 36 degrees might as well be - 20. We don’t deal well with this. If the weather gods want to mess with us… send us a White Christmas - but warm it up a bit. Okay?! And, yes, we’re aware that Denver is, like, under 4 feet of snow. But… you should expect that.
Hmm, 36 degrees? That just won’t do. My family is going home for a few days and we are counting on busting out the t-shirts and shorts.
I just laughed at LA Daddy’s comment a post in which I mentioned I’d bought rain boots for my girl. He said he needed to get some for your girl, because it was getting into rainy season. Let Angelenos come up to the NW and say that.
