For the summer .

Summer ended today. Goodbye Summer. Until springtime, the days will be shorter than the nights. Darkness is overtaking us.

Join me in the Dark Side.

I don't know what you are talking about. It was 97 degrees today. Seems like summer to me.

Thanks for reminding me! I nearly missed it!

EDIT: Erm, not the summer. The equinox. [Smile]

Well, if you can't trust the government on this, then what CAN you trust the government about?

Nothing. They're the government. I thought it was their job to lie to us. Isn't it?

Senator Hatch is from Utah, and based on him alone, I make it a rule to never trust anything from Utah. [Smile]

It was hot here today, too. 91 F for the high. On the other hand, that's only something like two or three degrees above the normal for this time of year here, so I have no trouble believing that autumn is here.

And what I have to say to summer is...good bye, good luck, good riddance. [Wave] I never have liked summer, anyway.

Now, when can we get rid of daylight savings time?

I've been saving my daylight for months now. I just have to figure out where to keep it all...

Well, yes and no. Earlier than you on the clock, but later actual in actual passage of time.

But that's still later than NYC, and we all know "everyone" lives there. [Wink]

I actually live in New Jersey. That's where "everyone" who is "no one" lives. [Wink] [Wink]

Piffle. You're an easy commute away, so you can be a "somebody" whenever you feel like it.

I tend to only be "somebody" briefly every few years, but I prefer it that way. [Big Grin]

It's not just Wiccans. Most Pagans celebrate or acknowledge it, as do many who simply follow a basic season-based spirituality without necessarily any magic or deities.

To a New Yorker, I'm a "B and T" (not to be confused with BT, which, by the way, I am also). That is "Bridge and Tunnel", i.e., a non-Manhattanite. Definitely lower in status.

But don't the California people constantly go to parties with all the Hollywood stars? Drive around in top-down convertables waving to (imaginary) adoring fans? Drink boutique bottled water and get important calls from their agents?

I imagine a sort of panache in the South California people that you don't see in New Jersey.

I keep all my eggs standing on end all year long. It's the only way they'll fit into the carton.

It topped a 100 degrees here. Still cooler than my old home in Texas. Nothing like the fall season in Houston. Triple digits and scary pollution.

One second. [ROFL]

Ok, I think I'm over it. No, wait. [Laugh]

Let me put it this way. I have a distinct memory of attending a then-brand-new summer camp in the Catskills and telling my bunkmates that I was from Los Angeles.

Them: *wide-eyed* There are JEWS there? Frum ones? [Razz]

It is not the last time I have gotten a similar reaction. An awful lot of frumme Yidden seem to have taken that old New Yorker cartoon a little too much to heart.
