a cold day in florida

The sky is so blue and high, and the breeze in Merritt Island is unseasonably chilly. I take an additional shirt and a little bit thick coat to go to this Island, but still feel cold. When walking so-called "LC-39 observation gantry", in short, observation of space-shuttle launch and etc, I hear the birds crying, which sometimes come down to trash boxes to pick up pop-corns around there.

At the fourth floor of the gantry, I also hear the sounds of the chilly breezes, and at the time, I see the launch complex 39s, where astronauts in maybe 70's, 80s, 90s, and 2000s went to their journeys. Their journeys. In here, the space center, it is said as "our" journeys with full of dreams and hopes in future. 

This night, the TV news says that it is an unseasonable cold temperature in here in two years, and farmers are worrying about damages from this chillness to their crops, especially fruits.

Here is Merritt Island, Florida.
