So tonight I’m gonna raise the windows, turn off the AC, put an extra blankie on the bed and snuggle up to Susie the cat!
I love the Autumn and Winter months, and I love walks in the woods with a long-haired lady during them!
(I pretty much wrecked that last sentence, didn’t I? :D)

Today is indeed a wonderful day here in the Metro Atlanta area. Nice cool breeze. Clouds to keep that evil Day Star from getting too bright. Overall, a very nice day. Just a few more hours before I get off work and am able to get out there to enjoy this wonderful weather.

It’s overcast here, too, but humid like a sauna out there. I can’t wait till I can open windows and turn off the air. Maybe next month. I hate Florida.
Hah.
Last night here in Jackson, the low was 66.
66.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Got it here, too. Right now it’s sunny and 79. Today’s projected high: 82. Tonight’s projected low: 62.
Yesterday I caught myself getting all wistful for fall because of the weather. Then I reminded myself that it’s still early September, and we’ve got at least a month or two more of hot, wicked weather. But for now, it feels wonderful.
Indeed, shaping up to be a decent day for a football game. GO YELLOW JACKETS!
I’m still shocked at living in a place with seasons. Actual conversation (from a couple years ago):
GMR: Man, it’s cold. What’s it doing being this cold? It’s SEPTEMBER!
Morelin: It’s called “fall”
GMR: Huh?
I long for fall. Or even a cooling trend. But no, we’ve got it hot and dry, fires in the hills, floods in the deserts, and the Santa Ana winds on their way in a month or so.
I kinda wish I were in Quasi land right about now.
It was 75, breezy and sunny, with low humidity. Pretty much perfect weather, as far as I’m concerned.
Ahh, the window’s open, the fan’s sucking in cool, cool Georgia air and, for the first time in months, I’m not paying for the AC.
I love Jawjuh!
And what was the best thing to do in Atlanta today with a hint of fall in the air? Why, go to a college football game, of course! Georgia Tech pulled off a huge upset of Auburn - first time Tech has beaten Auburn in 25 years (ok - they haven’t played each other since 1987, but it’s one of the oldest rivalries in the South. They first played in 1892, and Tech last won in 1977). Still, I was in the stands today cheering without sweating. Glorious!
Labdad! I heard about that! Good on the Yellow-Jackets!
Q
I miss having seasons! It even snowed a couple of times when I was in Georgia! I HATE YOU ALL!!!
I know it cools off here eventually, but it hasn’t really started much yet. And even when it does, it’s so damn humid…sigh.
I loved the winters in Georgia. Where I was it was just wintery enough to be fun, without constant ice and snow (though the snow was a lot of fun, since I didn’t have to go out in it!).
Ye gads! 82?? In my ideal world, the weather would never get any hotter than 70. I don’t how you do it.
(then again, everyone thinks I’m psycho 'cause I wear a t-shirt and shorts when it’s in the 40s…)
No kidding Sir Dirx 82 degrees is fall? HUH? everybody needs to come on up here to Wisconsin for fall. It is just glorious to snuggle into all your blankets on a 50 degree night. Ahhhhh
It was nice here in South Carolina, too. It was raining all day, but I bet it didn’t get above 75 here. I haven’t checked the weather sites to be sure.
I miss having seasons, too. That was until someone informed me that yes, the south does have 4 seasons. Almost summer, summer, still summer, and winter (which lasts about 3 days).
No A/C running in this house tonight!
To Labdad and Quasi - This Auburn alumnus is taking it like a man - sticking my fingers in my ears and yelling “I’m not listening! La la la la la!”
No thank you. I’ll take my nice Georgia weather. It snows once or twice every year, maybe, otherwise it’s nice and cool. Even summer isn’t so bad, compared to the brain-melting summers of ol’ Nawlins.
I should note it is definitely the glorious fall months, I walked to the radio station this morning across GT campus and just enjoyed the cool air and the light fog.
Baggins111: I’m offering my hand in sportsmanlike friendship to you! Auburn is tuff enuff!
Q
75 and moderately sunny here in Athens, GA today.
I really, REALLY want to ditch work. But, there’s work to be done…
