It has been autumn for five days, but here in Texas you would never know. Erin heard on the weather last night that the high temperatures right now are 5-7 degrees warmer than normal with no end in sight. By the way, every time we watch the weather segment of the news Erin can't help but think that it might be just a little ridiculous that with all the news going on in the world, a full 5 minutes of 15-20 minute newscast (that's after the commercial breaks) is spent rehashing the weather. After all, on most days in Texas the weather segment is almost exactly the same day after day.
Fall is one of Erin's favorite times of year so it is unfortunate that Texas has no such season...usually. Right now in Amsterdam it is in the 60s and rainy. OK, we don't like the rain so much, but temperatures in the 60s we could go for. And we really love the trees changing color. About this time last year we visited the Apenhuel (monkey zoo) in the Netherlands. We were wearing coats and the monkeys would stop all activity and sit in a yoga position to soak up the sun every time it came out from behind a cloud. The only thing we want to soak up here in Texas is some air conditioning.
It had better cool off before Thanksgiving because it is just wrong to wear shorts and T-shirts on Turkey Day.
