These Brighton-ites are nearly as crazy as Minnesotans.

Today it was bright and sunny out, but darn chilly – or at least I thought. Apparently, it doesn’t matter that I was wearing long pants and a sweater and was cold. If it is sunny out, people will walk around town in tank tops, shorts, sandals – showing off their summer wardrobe that hasn’t seen the light for the past 6 months. They even flock to the beach, and strip down to their bikinis and even bras if they’re desperate for some sun on their pasty white skin. Some fools even brave the water! Mmm, not me. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by the South African weather on my recent trip down there. Or maybe my blood has thinned from my time in the ridiculously hot Sudan. But I’m sticking to my sweaters for now.
