You know that summer really IS over when...

[Dr Doran]

I don't know about the first part. They have their fair share of crime of all sorts.
The weather might be a slight bit cooler as it is closer to the coast but not by much.
I would imagine that rain or heat would limit a certain amount of activity by such miscreants though.

And back to our regularly scheduled programming: you know summer is over when you rearrange your closet and put the heavier woolen suits in front and the lighter ones in back.

Which I cannot do yet, as it is still summer here and about 80 degrees.

I don't live that far away and I wore a three piece suit. Its not that hot.
You know summer is over around here when the naked guy at UC Berkeley starts wearing a trenchcoat.

James -- if you think rain and snow are horrific, you ought to try living in Iowa when we have an ice storm, lots of sleet and icy rain, you step outside and fall on your kazoo.

Last winter we had ice on the ground from December 1st until mid-April. I almost began to believe the glaciers had returned.

Why, oh why, did I ever have to leave San Diego?

Rains not that bad!! After you've lived on the West Coast for a few years you notice that you have slightly webbed toes and it's not a tan on your skin, it's RUST... Hahahahahahaaaa

I know Summer is over when I forget the air conditioning is messed up in my car.
I know Summer is over when I can walk around all day in jeans and other types of long pants without my hidradenitis suppurativa acting up.

I don't much like summer anyway. I've always enjoyed the colder seasons like autumn and winter.

September Skies

September Skies
Funny how that memory
never dies
And when that first leaf falls
Days turn cold, nights grow long
Like an old Sinatra song
And every year right about this time
I wind up here wishing that winds of fate
would bring you back to me
beneath September Skies

I should've known better
than to count on the weather
summer's long gone, still holdin' on
A fool pretendin' that love's never ending
With the first sign of fall, I still recall

September Skies
The autumn melody clouds my eyes
And I'll never see, why you're gone
and I dream all alone
Beneath Setember Skies

I should've known better
than to count on the weather
summer's long gone, still holdin' on
A fool pretendin' that love's never ending
With the first sign of fall, I still recall

September Skies
The autumn melody clouds my eyes
And I'll never see, why you're gone
and I dream all alone
Beneath Setember Skies.

Thanks flat-top, nice poem.

I know Summer is over when Beau Ties, Ltd. of Vermont sends their catalog with the 12 Days of Christmas bowties featured.

I know summer is over when I dont have to sleep with the fan on anymore
Its soo lovely to be cold again at night

Thanks flat-top, nice poem.

I can't take credit for that one...it's the song "September Skies" from the first Brian Setzer Orchestra album.

Oh, it is! But I have to have it on about 8 months out of the year; when it's cold I miss the sound of it so much I still have to have it on low. (And I'm the one who gets really cold very easily.) Pathetic, really.

Have you tried/considered a soothing sound aid?

Note to self, Iowa is not a retirement destination.

That is just the sound we get used to when we live in the right area of the country.

I'd say today was the first day of autumn for us in Crawfordsville, Indiana.

Leaves are already carpeting the arboretum, it was just below 60 degrees, slight breeze, and just a bit overcast. If I were a bit braver, I'd take my nap out of doors.

I'm out in Greencastle and the weather is getting nicer out here. I hate hot weather.

In other news you all need to hear the song Rollin w/ Saget.
