Cool Mornings

Most of our stuff is slowly thawing out.  The overnight temp last night was about 30.  The water is about 60, so that helps some.   However, the boat itself still feels like frozen fiberglass.
Yesterday, I found several little lizards laying around on the sidewalk.  Usually they scurry away when you get close to them, but I was able to pick them up.  They're not dead--just cold.  Sort of a suspended animation.   The iguanas that climb the trees, get so cold they can no longer hold on, so they fall out of the trees.  "It's raining iguanas"  means it's cold in south Florida.  (So when they fall out of the trees they're no longer suspended, and are quite animated as they fall to the ground.  So I guess it's actually just the opposite of "suspended animation".)
For those of you who think I might up some of these stories, here's the link to a Youtube report.
