Great quote from Calvin & Hobbes posted by a friend of mine on her livejournal:

Calvin: The days are getting colder. Yes. BUGS ARE DYING BY THE TRUCKLOAD! HA HA HA! GOOD RIDDANCE TO 'EM ALL! I like fall.

(There aren't really bugs here, but as a former New Englander, I can appreciate the sentiment.)
Watch out. That poster has a low startle point.

The last blast of summer is here (in the Northern hemisphere, anyway). There will be a cold snap in September, and then, glorious Indian summer! The Farmer's Almanac is predicting a "wet and wild" winter. Are you ready?

No. I hope the FA is as wrong about this winter as they were about the last one.

The college students are back. They've been moving back into the University of Pennsylvania this week, and I've seen several cute artboys, from the University of the Arts, which is in my neighborhood, ths past week.

Fall is on the way!

I suspect an early fall, because of the changeable nature of the weather right now.

I noticed one thing, though. Ordinarily, by this time of year, the oak trees near my office would be dropping acorns like mad, but not this year. Mustn't have been a good year for acorns.  :(

Hope they're right about the "wet" part; not sure what the FA would define as "wild."

Right now we have our fingers, toes and eyes crossed that Isaac heads up our way with at least a few inches of rain.

Here in Alberta the weather is still warm, in the 20 degrees celsius for the next 15 days at least according to weather forecast. The first snow fall was on August 24 and a very small one that barely lasted an hour. I have never seen snow so late and so sparse in 6 summers in Alberta. Not a white patch in site on Moose Mountain yet.  If J&E had met in 2012, they would not have been cut off a month of... pay

Here is Whatever happened to August on 25 August:

Why, that snow barely stuck an hour!! The time to kick sticks and munch on grass stems is coming later and later every year!
