Why Daytona's Main Street Is Always Hot:

Dogs Aren't Stuck To Poles..

That Doesn't Mean It Hasn't Been Cooler Than Normal-The Good & The Bad:

Daytona struggling to hit sixty today, from frigid Canadian air then blowing over a snow pack that extended from Alabama, Georgia, & the Carolinas, & all the way up the eastern seaboard. Cold in Florida? Keep your back to the breeze. Main Street's orientation is east-west, so the cold yankee air blows right over the top of the buildings, leaving the street toasty & warm. In other words, cold wind almost never blows down Main Street from end to end. Couple times over the years, it was freezing there, but that's why they make Tequila, ya know?

Here & There:

Subdued Harley exhibit, ditto Millers, but Shelly Rossmeyer has an Italian bike you just gotta see: Asking $65,000. Cool bike, on the floor at the former "Arlen Ness" store next to Rossmeyer World. Will someone buy it? That's why they make Tequila! (sorry Shel..)

Lime Alert:

If you need 'em, get 'em now. This time of year, most are from old Mexico, supplies are limited, & who wants to cut one up that looks like it's been in the stomach of a whale?
