The temperature dropped to 40° during last night’s drive home with the top down. (That’s 4.4° for you Euros.)

I’ve still got the windows down and the heater off. I think another five degrees and I’ll have to go to gloves.

Curiously, driving to work in the morning when the temperature is 41° is a lot more comfortable than driving around at night when it’s 55° or 60°. I don’t know if it’s psychological (dark vs. sunlight) or if the workday just sucks the life force out of me and leaves me cold by the end of the day.

Believe it or not, there are some pretty good-looking women in the Microsoft Office ClipArt graphics. I told Jeff W. that Playboy ought to do a Girls of ClipArt issue. Here’s one I think they could start with:

Put her on a sandy beach in Mexico in five-inch heels and shiny lip gloss, drape a feather boa - or a boa constrictor - over her shoulders and toss a gold chain around her waist and she’s money. Oh, and maybe give her champagne in a martini glass to hold, too. You know, because nude, airbrushed women cavorting with snakes while drinking champagne from martini glasses is so Mexico.
