This weather sucks.

It's almost a third of the way through October and I've had my A/C on all weekend.  Now, I'm well aware that global warming is a climatological phenomenon and not a meteorological one, and that one hot weekend in October does not a trend make, but I certainly hope this is not the shape of things to come.  My dad says the pond in back of their house is halfway dry, and I know it certainly seems like this year has been warmer than most.  At this point, I'm ready for it to get into the 50s and 60s for the fall.  Looks like I'll get my wish by Wednesday.

I think the reason I most love spring and fall these days is actually more because of fashion than anything else.  I miss jackets.  I like long sleeved shirts and turtlenecks.  I like being able to wear jeans and not sweat to death.  And I'm looking forward to finally being able to wear that leather jacket Mel convinced me to buy this summer.  Hopefully it will not look too stormtrooper-esque.  I am going to miss eating and drinking on the patio at Guido's, but on the other hand, cooler temps might make the walk downtown a bit more viable as well.

It's one of the reasons I'd really like to move somewhere with a less crazy climate -- I'm really getting tired of the broiling hot summers and the bonechilling winters.  Somewhere where it doesn't get too warm or too hot would be nice, as long as it still has seasons.
