It’s going to get cold soon. I know you don’t think that now. I know you beautiful people in California don’t ever have to think about that. I know you don’t want 70 degree weather to end.

I know you don’t want to get fat over winter. I know you don’t want to sleep with clothes on. But it’s going to get cold soon. Not SOON soon but soon there will be no more shorts, no more t-shirts, no more skin freedom. No more bikinis, no more tank tops, no more beaches. It’s going to be a tough life.
