Anyway, it's 50 (F) now, and will probably get up to 70 (F) this afternoon. So it's a nice sunny day but is autumn-ish. We have the wrong sort of trees for nice colors; mostly they turn brown and fall off without much fanfare. Right now maybe 10% of the leaves are off.
We're having actual autumnal weather here. It seemed like we only had about a week of fall last year: it rapidly went from summer to winter. This year everything is perfectly on schedule. And it happened overnight. One day it was 90 and sunny and humid, the next day, when we woke up, it was drizzly, overcast, and the leaves had started to turn. I cannot tell you how perfect I believe fall in a big city is. It's like cities were made for fall. It's magical. Also, I'm a night person, so I like that it gets dark early. Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
However, we still have to use a calculator to know if a given number is hot or cold or just right -- and would be happy if you'd do the courtesy of converting into civilised units yourself :-) *Traitor*, n.
