Just 2 hours 20 minutes until sundown -- and yet, still triple digits!
Pumpkin spice? We could bake pumpkin pies on the sidewalk today.
Yes sir, the Northern states seem to dominate our culture. No one in Texas thinks "Oh darn, for better or worse, Summer is over... It's after Labor Day after all."
I have to laugh when national chains (Home Depot, Lowe's) clearance off their box fans, etc. EVEN IN TEXAS because "Hey, it's Fall! It's after Labor Day!" Corporate dictates when the seasons change. And guess where Corporate is located? Not in the South, apparently.
We open our windows in December and let fresh air in. No heating is necessary until January, and Winter usually lasts 3-6 weeks.
We might be able to turn off our A/C *occasionally* starting the 3rd week of October. That's the norm.
In a similar vein, we haven't seen temperatures below 70 yet. It's not brisk or Fall weather if you never see temps below 70. Not even in the middle of the night, or right before sunrise.
That having been said, I'm looking forward to fall. Or at least high temps below 100. It's been a very long, very hot Summer, even for Texas. Oh, and a very dry one. We are *way* behind our normal rainfall.
On a light hearted note, enjoy some memes!
