The temperature went from 94 on Thursday to 57 this morning, and it's great. I took our Husky out and let him run around in the field, a joyous exercise today instead of a prelude to heat exhaustion. Our windows are open for the first time in months, and a cool breeze from the North feels a hundred times better than a blast of air conditioning. October here set records for high temperatures, whole weeks averaging over 90 during the day, while the stores have displays of sweaters and overcoats. Now a cup of coffee out on the patio seems like something strangely overdue.
I'm covered in what are supposedly wash-off tattoos of Mickey and Tinkerbell in Halloween gear. My granddaughter treated my brother and I to a free tattoo session last night, and we bought her cans of Silly String for a mock-war with us and the dog and the furniture. She won. And I carved our 3rd jack-o-lantern, getting better at it as I go. It's a shame Halloween has become a chance for the psychos in your neighborhood to poison your kids. We end up trick-or-treating at the malls.
