Say Autumnthing




Lloyd, Lloyd all null and void. Looking for fall but trying to avoid, Lloyd. Not
sure what to do, dissed in the Malibu.

Okay, I *MAY* have watched "Say Anything" for the 1,379th time yesterday. I *MAY*
have. Not saying I did, but I *MAY* have. Just be glad I didn't watch "500 Days
of Summer" for the 1,218th times, because then we'd be having a much different
forecast map. At any rate, I'm afraid it's true, the heat is coming back, and with
the rain we've been having, I'm afraid it's gonna come at a cost. And that cost
is sweat.



We do have another nice, rainy day ahead of us today (some with rain, some without,
but everybody gets a nice mild August day).



The heat starts to ramp up after tomorrow, however, and we travel back to the
heat.



Maybe a cooldown next week? Would that make you happy?

One question: do you need fall, or do you just need cooler? Forget it, I don't
really care.

Oh by the way, 14 years ago today, a whiny brat named Erin was making our lives
miserable. Remember this?



Yeah, our very own Tropical Storm, strengthening over Oklahoma! You can read
