Its happened

~ Bon Steele

I remember reading once that there is this one day in October (if you live in Texas, that is) where the weather does this abrupt change. Overnight it stops being 90 degrees and drops to daytime highs of like 60.
Yeah, last night it came through. I think fall is finally here.
I’d link you to the webcomic I saw it in but apparently keenspace is eating itself. Ah, well. If you get the chance O, Reader — and the webhosting service starts working again — go and see flemco and click on the website link. Take a box of tissues (for the tears o’laughter) and a bottle of liquor. You’ll need both.
That is all.

  2. Heh! Texas, by and large, has two seasons: “Hot”, and “Wet”.
    Fall lasts for about 20 minutes, if you get one at all.

    One of the things I love about New Mexico… we get FOUR seasons! This year, in fact, we got five! An Indian Summer bonus!

      I blow raspberries at you.

      I know. Le sigh. To further compound the problem, I live in South Central Texas. It barely has “wet”. I hope someday to live somewhere with actual seasons and a Summer that doesn’t involve temperatures you can cook on the hood of your car with.

        Mmmm, raspberries! *munch*

        I lived for years in Port Aransas, Flour Bluff (now part of Corpus), and Austin… all places where the ‘wet’ part was pretty firmly established.

        And places where the preferred parking places were ALWAYS the ones in the shade, not the ones closest to the door. :>

        By wet I didn’t mean humidity. We gots that by the bucketful.
        No I meant that raining sometimes causes the locals to wander outside in wonder and awe.

        “Water from the sky! Holee shite, what will they think of next?!”

        Or if you can’t park in the shade then right next to the door so you won’t be in the damn heat for too long.
