Bring Back the Dreary Weather
I don’t know that it is global warming. The non-alarmist scientists seem to think these things run in long cycles and we are just in a warming trend. Whatever it is, it seems like this country has gotten more temperate in just the last few years.
Here it is pushing toward mid-October and I have only worn a sweater for the last two days. Even that has only been tolerable in the mornings. I really wore them more out of the convenience of not ironing a shirt when I needed to be out of the house in short order. I’ve worn my leather jacket to school on a couple of occasions, but both times it has spent the day on the back of my chair.
Yesterday we had a short time of typical autumn weather – grey, cool, and rainy. I like warm, sunny days as much as the next person, but it was kind of like the return of an old friend.
