Three Short Letters

Dear Summer:

Please go away. Go away NOW. In case you haven't noticed, the autumnal equinox was nearly two weeks ago, and yet here you are, hanging around like some zombie houseguest. You have seriously outstayed your welcome.

No love,
Me.

~~~~~


Dear October:

We both know that September is a softie and lets Summer stay here some years a little longer than is necessary. It's okay, that's the way September is, and we're all used to it by now. But you, October? You know better than this. Kick the bum to the curb already! It's ridiculous enough that people are getting the usual change-of-season illnesses, but it's even more ridiculous to be getting those illnesses when the season hasn't changed. I beg of you, don't let us be tormented by any longer by high temperatures in the upper 80s!

With hope and affection,
Me.

~~~~~


Dear Body:

Keep talking to me and let's do our best to beat this thing, okay? If you'll let me get to the grocery store without passing out, I'll give you all the chicken soup and waffles you want. Just cough this gunk out of our lungs as soon as you can so we can celebrate our birthday without wheezing, please?

Love,
Me.

Thank you. I am now having a "happy not to be living in Tejas" moment!

Actually, I am very frequently happy not to be living in Tejas, Arizona, or Saudi Arabia. Living in a place where summer happens at all can get on my nerves as it is.

Odd as it might seem, I'd like summer to hang around a couple more weeks. It'll be nice for the cookout.

Then we can kick it's sorry ass to the curb.

I'm a fan of temps in the 70s for cookouts. Wouldn't you settle for early Autumn?

I like warm Autumn, I'm not ready for the cold and the rain yet (we already had that at the end of August and in September).
Although the weather isn't asking for my opinion and is being rather Octoberish.

Well, around here a normal Autumn is probably warm by your standards anyway. I wouldn't expect it to be cold until November at the very earliest. Rain would be nice, though, as we're still in the midst of a drought.

Found an online Fahrenheit-to-Celsius converter and checked.
26*C is warm by our standards, summer weather, in fact :)

The high temperatures have been, oh, from about 29 to 32 degrees C, which is certainly summer weather. Normally in early October, we'd be having high temperatures of about 21; later in October, the normal high would be 17.

I hear ya
