Okay, I am sort of pissed at the weather. New, I really don't like really cold weather, but I like the fall, you know autumn weather. Brisk days and cold nights. Not snow, but autumn weather.I have a favorite sweatshirt, and when it is cold outside, I wear this sweatshirt at least once per week. It is unflattering, it is rather ugly, but it is the most comfortable piece of clothing I own.
I don't know why some sweatshirts, over time, become more comfortable, don't look worn, or whatever, but that's what happened to this sweatshirt. Actually, now that I think about it, some clothing does improve with age. Perhaps there is some sort of clothing fairy who decides which clothing to bless with a unique property of improving with age. I don't know.
Back to my sweatshirt. I am a bit pissed because I have not worn the shirt since the last season, and I blame La Niña.1 I don't really understand the weather, but I know the net results: I don't get to wear my sweatshirt as much, and it pisses me off.
Actually, the weather is a bit more complicated – I tried reading about different climate thingies, and it occurs to me that weathermen and weather girls sort of get the raw deal. They are perceived as these idiots, but to truly understand weather, you have to be smart. Maybe really smart.
So we have these people on television talking about the weather, a really complex area of study, and we assume that they have the job because they are cute or handsome.
Me, I am going to just curse La Niña. And the pisser? La Niña means "little girl." What a bitch.
1La Niña winters are warmer than normal in the Southeast and colder than normal in the Northwest.
3. My Stories. Yeah, I have a few erotic stories here. I know, they are not all that good, but they were fun to write. Don't read them if this offends you (and they represent less than 1% of the content here). These stories have elements of truth and fantasy, some more true than others. Complain about something that is a bit more substantive if you must complain. I have lots of faults.

Good weather people are geeks, and they get into the whole science behind it. Most "TV weather forecasters" that are on local news stations look good, and they use forecasts prepared by the national weather services.
You better hope that this La Nina brings you some rain this winter.
Good ol' gray sweatshirts are the best. I have one that I wear all the time too - but, like you, I haven't been able to wear it yet this fall.
It's supposed to be in the EIGHTIES here on Saturday - and that will be October 20.
I still prefer to blame it all on the Canadians...
They're talking about a "cold front" in the next couple of days...yup, I kid you not. They are actually using that term. They're expecting the highs to be in the low 80's, and our lows to be in the high 60's. It'll only be a couple of days, then back into the 90's. It's nearly November...give me a freakin' break! I wanna wear MY favorite sweatshirt!!
La Nina means ... the nina. Ha ha ha
I miss West Texas. Yout get 2 months of fall and not just two weeks.
I have a few favorite sweatshirts myself. It's a shame I can't wer mine more either.

larry: my yard is a mess because of the lack of rain.
rwa: 80s seem unbearable in late October (though I remember a few Thanksgivings in shorts).
joe: Canadians are an easy target. I blame Gore (a bigger target).
kathi: I heard cold front and the temperatures don't change at all. We do get rain, which we need, but not much cold. Better to call it a wet front.
edge: thanks for the Spanish help. I have heard that there are places in West Texas where the fall leaves are gorgeous. Something like Maple States Park. Can't remember the name. Lost Maples?
I have one just like this except it says "Texas A&M". I love it and wear it all the time.
But, you're right, it's sloppy and messy. I don't care :)
