^^^NOMINEE FOR TOP DUmmie OF 2013

Almost December and still wearing shorts....(In CA, we are so screwed) in Northern California, Nevada City to be exact. 3,000 foot elevation. Right now it should be in the 40's and it might have snowed at least once here...... Yesterday I stayed in my shorts and sandals all day while out savoring all the holidays traditions of the area.....
 
No rain here hardly, no snow to speak of in higher elevations, (the Ski resorts took a HUGE bath over the holiday)and temps are not very cold at night.
 
I am still getting tomatoes.

Temps in the high 60's, full sun and not very cold at night, high 30's.

Sacramento has been reaching 70 in some locations.....

Now it turns out we are going to have a dry winter according to this article: http://www.sacbee.com/2013/11/29/5956742/dry-winter-ahead-states-experimental.html

3. Yeah, what is Shasta lake looking like right now?

I am gonna go to Folsom on Wednesday and see what the water level is like there.....
 
After last year that will be two abnormally dry years in a row and might decimate some recreational businesses. Ski resorts, rafting companies, travel in general.
 
One good this is we did not have SOCAL Fires this year, we just passed that season, but next year, if it stays dry, will be a tinderbox much earlier than October and the Santa Ana winds......

4. I was going to say... WHERE do you live?

Why am I FREEZING cold in San Francisco? I am sitting here in a sweatshirt, sweatpants and a blanket, drinking hot tea. Where IS THIS SHORTS weather of which you speak?

5. It's in the 50s here in the high desert and the 50s are quite comfortable with just a sweater.

We had snow on the ground here in the valley last week and more on the mountains but not as much as we'd usually expect from a strong storm.
 
I hope the article is proven wrong.

I cannot abide sandals on men, and Bennyboy must look especially loathesome in them.

How can you see them?

Remember, he's got that big belly that hangs out and down, like an apron in front of him.

I like Crocs 'n socks.

How much does Bennyboy weigh?  I'm in So. Calif and it's 47 degrees on my deck.  I don't consider that shorts and sandals weather.  We even ran the heater this morning.


Oh and we had a steady rain all day yesterday too.

YOU LIE!

<<<goes barefooted as much as possible.

For whatever reason, God gave perfectly formed aesthetic feet; it must've been to make up for the missing ears.

Black. Not like the guy I saw at the store with bright yellow Crocs 'n socks.

Why?

Sandals are gay, except when I wear Tevas on the boat.

Crocs aren't sandals.

I've hiked many miles in Chaco sandals, and they are the only thing I can stand to have on my feet when I'm in my kayak.   


I've always looked at Crocs as sandals for people who don't care anymore.
