Pittsburgh to Austin

It's a little chilly out there, the radio man said. There are a few flurries out there. The temperature should get down to 18.

He said that. The radio man talking on the radio. WYEP in Pittsburgh streaming radio on the Internet. But in Austin things are different.

Here, it is a little chilly, too. But chilly down here isn't chilly up there. Here, the temperature will be in the mid-50s. No flurries, although it might rain. Here, the lantana are purple in the front yard. And the wild onions in the back -- they are blooming white.

Chilly is in the eye of the beholder.
