All through out the holiday season we could instantly recognize the newbies/visitors by their dress or lack of it. "I'm in Florida dammit and I WILL wear shorts and tees". Probably didn't pack other options.... "I WILL get a tan before going home"
How do I know this? Not so long ago I was one of 'em! Being full time changes your blood and the cold effects us more than ever. Before we would visit for a few days escaping brutal cold up north. 60 degrees here felt like heaven but to my mom (who was bundled up in heavy coats) it was nasty cold. NOW I know what she felt and why she always asked "aren't YOU cold?"
