It has been unusually chilly though, a little backwash from Ivan
et al. We'll have really nice temps for about 2 hours, then it'll
get all chilly. We have a saying locally: if you don't like the
weather, wait 5 minutes; it'll change.


Whereas here in the San Francisco area, it's more like: if you don't
like the weather, cross the street.

(There's no such expression as far as I know, I just like to say that.)

It's very hilly here and we have lots of "microclimates". So it might
be sunny in one neighborhood, and in another one less than a mile away,
it might be raining and gusting wind. The temperature varies sharply
depending on how close you are to the actual coast. "Inland" means a
mere 3 or 4 miles inland. It might be 100 degrees (38C) "inland" and
65 (18C) and foggy on the beach, just a few miles away.

I'm afraid we've got y'all beat. I started seeing Christmas stuff in July at
one of our big department stores. I was going upstairs to the can when I saw
the Kaufmann's ladies shlepping a pallet full of ornaments and this
obnoxious-looking blue tree. they told me the tree will come out sometime in
October, but they've had the ornaments and other holiday chotchkies up since
the end of July.

Blessed be,
Baha

And of course it doesn't help that the stores seem to think Chrstmas
comes earlier every year. They're already putting up Christmas stuff
in the post exchange out on Fort Sill - started a couple weeks ago.


In September?? At least here, they don't start until the end of October.
