Florida has been hit with an arctic cold front that has sent temperatures tumbling. Yesterday morning was a chilly 45 degrees here in Stuart. The high was 61, with 30 mile per hour winds making it seem much colder. And in Florida, when this happens, iguanas can enter a "state of torpor" and start falling from trees, occasionally hitting innocent Floridians in the head, lying on the ground in a state of shock until the temperatures warm up. A scary sight to see. Meanwhile, back in Denver, the high temperature was 71 degrees. The world turned upside down! I stopped by Stuart Beach, seen in the photograph above, yesterday afternoon and there was not soul on the beach. Not surprising, since the wind was blowing nonstop and the waves looked pretty intimidating. At the Seaside Cafe, overlooking the beach, only two tables were occupied, with just one person at the bar. Hopefully he was drinking hot coco. The good news is that down here, these types of conditions only last a day or two, and then it is back to normal. No problem at all, unless you are a tourist from the north that only packed t-shirts. Which believe me, can happen. And often does.
