Apart from uncontrollable shivering while drying out on the sand and a of course a major shrinkage, there weren't notable effects. Getting into the water took 15 seconds. Apparently a lot of old people make a point in taking a dip in the sea every single week of the year. After all the sea is only about 5°C degrees colder than the Channel shores in summer. The air temp and windiness while drying out is always more of an issue. On days with highs below 10°C I suspect it would be tough to get out of the relatively mild water.

Not at all unfortunately, there aren't halfway decent waves unless there's some kind of a windstorm going on. They even did a popular comedy on a surfer from Nice. The epitome of ludicrousness.
People born in January have given me the most Accord rides, with 26 total. September has the least, with 13. January 7th and July 30th are the most common birthdays, with 4 a piece. A total of 160 days of the year have an Accord driver's birthday. A total of 162 days of the year have an Accord I have ridden on that day. Some days have neither, and others have both. Some have one or the other.
I'll give you April 1-15 as an example. April 6-15 are subject to change in the coming days.
April 1: Both (Accord rides in 2014 and 2016)
April 2: A driver's birthday
April 3: A driver's birthday
April 4: I rode in an Accord in 2016
April 5: Both (Accord rides in 2015 and 2016)
April 6: Neither
April 7: Neither
April 8: Both (3 Accords in 2013)
April 9: Both (Accord rides in 2014 and 2015)
April 10: A driver's birthday
April 11: Neither
April 12: I rode in two Accords in 2015
April 13: Neither
April 14: I rode in an Accord in 2014
April 15: A driver's birthday
Very interesting indeed. Based on my current age, I have done approximately 10,500 poops in my entire life (also accounting for periods of constipation), which is a pretty significant achievement.

I've done twice that, despite being younger than you. My digestive system was engineered by Germans, they say.
2015 had 19 Accords up to April 7th. 2016 has the same number so far.
This year had a worse January, a better February, and an equal March 1 - April 7 period. For 2016 to pull ahead of 2015 I need at least four Accords on or before April 20th. Three will tie it. April 9, 2015 had one Accord and April 12, 2015 had a doubler, but after that there were none until April 21. With 11 Accords having been ridden in since March 13, 2016 I think I can probably manage 4 in the next two weeks. I have a few that are just ready to ride in. Not to mention Greek Week at WKU is April 17-22 so that could help in the last days of that 2 week stretch. If I want to get to 300 by the end of the year 2016 needs a total of 99 Accords. 2015 had 92. 300 is a bit far fetched. 280s or 290s is likely but 300 is possible.
Accords 2016 vs. 2015
Jan: 2 / 4
Feb: 5 / 3 (Feb. 2015 was hampered by the Feb. 16 snowstorm)
Mar: 11 / 9
Apr 1-6: 3 / 1
I remember getting to 200 took quite a bit of cramming at the end of the year.
Number 150 was on June 1, so I needed 50 in seven months (which would average 7.14 per month). The remainder of June, July, and August all fell short of that. The summer ended with a count of 164 (this one having been ridden in on August 27).
So by the beginning of September I needed to get 36 more - 9 per month on average - to hit 200. I knew that if I hit the goal, it WOULD BE in December. September had 9, and October had 10. Then the first nine days of November had none.
Waking up on November 10, my count was 183 with 51 days left in 2015 to get 17 more Accord rides. My 190th was on Thanksgiving Day. So that meant I had to get 10 more just in the Christmas season. November ended with 191. December was going to have to have 9 Accords. December 2014 had only 4 against a yearly count of 66. I thought December 2015 may be good for 6. The first week of December had 2, the same number as the first week of December 2014. That meant I had 7 left to go, with 2 1/2 weeks remaining to Christmas. The next 5 crammed ever closer to Christmas. Dec. 9. Dec. 11. Dec. 15. Dec. 19. Dec. 20. On Christmas Day, my count stood at 198. My goal of 200 by the end of 2015 seemed unreachable. So close, so close. Probably the first half of January, I thought.
Dec. 27 came, and I rode in one that morning for 199. This was it. Then one more showed up, as it turns out for a Christmas party at my church. Got it at 12:10 pm for 200. Just 108 hours shy of the end of the year. Another Accord showed up, and was ridden in at 2:09 pm. This would turn out to be 2015's last, but there's no shame in the last Accord of the year being on December 27. It's still after Christmas!
January 2016 would turn out to be a disappointment, with only 2 that month, one on the 12th and one on the 31st. (That's pretty much February). February's 5 would show that there was still life after all in the Honda program. March managed 9, and April's off to a stellar start with 3 so far in the first six days. In January I had been disappointed in 2016. Turns out it was just a slow start. Sort of like when you have a hot summer but May and early June are cooler than average. Give it time.
^^ What's with the seasonality? Is there a spring for Accord rides too?
I'm giving my first interview tomorrow. Still undecided whether to act warm and friendly or cold and aloof.
Well, the second option it is.
Yes, there is seasonality in Accord rides. The peak tends to occur in April, and the worst month is usually either December, January or one of the summer months. A smaller peak occurs in the fall.
