Good morning all, it's going to be a nice day here today. We're looking at 84 as the projected high, that's five degrees over normal for this time of the year. No complaints from here, we still haven't had to turn on our heat and it's been about two weeks since we turned off the A/C, so I hope we stay this way for a few more weeks.
We've noticed that the traffic here is getting heavier and heavier and the stores and Post Office parking lots are a getting harder to find a decent space to park in. It's going to be this way until we start getting up into the high 90's again, then the snowbirds flock back to cooler country. Speaking of birds, the long-neck geese are back. We see then hanging around the ponds that are visible from the streets. It's always fascinating to see then flying overhead in formation with then squawking back at each other. We notice that when they are feeding, there's always one of them standing with their head up high looking for those that want to prey on them. A lot of golf courses had these plastic coyotes around the water to try to scare the geese away, but no such luck, they know what's real and what's not.
