Just for the record, it was 87 degrees here on Sept. 2, 2008. We will be lucky to make it to 77 today. Where the heck is my global warming? Why does my grass still need to be mowed so often?
I really shouldn't complain about this little preview of fall. Other parts of the country are sweltering and coping with droughts. And we've had our share of crappy weather in past years. This summer, however, has been wonderful. I used the air conditioning only once in July -- and that was the night of the fire, to keep the smoke and noise out.
Fall is one of the nicest seasons in Southwest Virginia, but it carries with it the melancholy of autumn that keeps it from being my favorite. I think that's what's my problem with this cool snap. I like summer to hang on as long as possible.
