I got up with the Sun this morning, and was surprised at how clear and warm and beautiful it already was.

“Ah,” I thought, “this is going to be a beautiful day. I think I’ll finally get my car washed.”

Then I heard on the radio that this is the typical warm air mass which precedes a cold front, and that it’s probably going to get stormy in the next few days, certainly by the end of the week.

So I’m not washing my car, because the last time I did (after letting it go unwashed for two months) it snowed in Malibu the next day.

If you can get outside today, I highly recommend it; it’s going to be an incredibly beautiful day . . . just don’t spend any time at the car wash.
