This or That: Beach or Mountains?

Because who doesn’t want to get away in the middle of winter?

 
 

Show of hands: Who would love nothing more than to get away from ridiculously cold weather? 🙋‍♀️

When it was bitter cold a couple of weeks ago, I was ready to soak up some sun. It didn’t matter where.

But I do NOT like the beach. At all. (Fortunately, Horacio feels the same way.)

In the age-old debate between sunny beaches vs. a cozy cabin in the mountains, I am 100% cabin. In the winter, however; my cabin darn well be measurably warmer than my house!

But the universes feels otherwise. Most people prefer the beach.

Definition from www.merriam-webster.com

(sigh)

Even Merriam-Webster has turned against the idea of a cozy cabin for a relaxing vacation.

Nothing is sacred!

Mix-Tape Must-Have

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole can sing the heck out of Somewhere Over the Rainbow!

Also, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole has an incredible surname. It would be really hard to stencil it on the pocket of your dungarees in boot camp.

Literally ME at the beach.


This Week in Terrifying Weather Phenomena

Really? An “atmospheric river”?

I thought the Weather Channel was just being alarmingly creative in describing weird weather phenomena, but no!

Atmospheric rivers are actually a thing.

Along with williwaws, bomb cyclones, and haboobs. Read more at Scientific American HERE. My personal favorite is graupel..
