So does unseasonable warmth.

ETA: I didn’t turn on **Coolio** but I did bestir myself to the basement to re-emerge with my fan (that I thought was safely set aside for the season) … and I spent my lunch break in my car with the A/C on & blowing on me.

It’s nice now (at post 2 a.m.) at around 60 even, but it’s supposed to kiss 80 _again_ tomorrow, and I’m just not okay with this nonsense.

It’s October in the Midwest, ferchrissakes. I should not be kicking the lightweight cooling blanket off me mid-sleep!

ETA II: I believe that’s Jupiter near the waning gibbous moon tonight. It’s clear as hell here, under the stars - the froggies are singing their praises for the late season warmth - so if anyone else sees it, there’s a warm thought from a random Mumper out there on the starlight.

Then do what I do, and have gazpacho for dinner.  
Barley gazpacho.  
OK, beer.

I’ll answer here, even though it’s last month’s MMP.

Pretty darned good, but not as good as another udon joint in the area. Yesterday’s place had a hurried, noisy, cafeteria vibe. You had to strain to hear the servers on the other side of the counter over the noisy noodle-making machinery and the shrill chattering customers in line. The food was good, but the other udon joint (Udon Mugizo) is better.

Management here is pretty responsive, but it takes forever to get these machines serviced. Parts are never available, it seems. Since there are only four dryers, things will get ugly in short order.
