For the past three or four days, it has been unseasonably cool in San Ramon. The temperature reached a high of only 19 degrees, and for the first time, I had to don long pants. Interestingly, adult males in Costa Rica (and, I suspect, all Latin American countries) seldom, if ever, wear shorts. Such frivolous wear is consigned to adolescents and Norte Americanos. I refuse to make allowances for old age with its transformation of appendages to matchsticks. If a Straw Man I am, so be it.
Today, the weather turned for the better; the rising thermometer a harbinger for birds of all colour.
