Rant/Rave - Autumn

[jim]

I really have mixed emotions about this season. The weather is great, the leaves are turning, it smells good outside, and now we have playoff baseball. But inland trout season is now officially closed as of sunset yesterday, I finished the season out with four days of fishing with a good buddy of mine from HS. Yesterday I just went out for a bit over an hour to say my farewell until next spring, I remember releasing the last trout of the year and remembering the first I got when the snow was past my knees. And once the orgy of playoff baseball is done, then that is over as well.

So basically the two things I love most in life wrap up in autumn, how can I really get excited about this season? Another year older I'm afraid...

Rave: I dig autumn for all of the reasons you cite.

Rant: Apparently, St. Louis doesn't get autumn, as it's the last week of September and we've had 85-degree high temps for like 2 weeks now.

It was 98 here yesterday. I'm actually pumped about coming to STL tomorrow for the weather and other reasons.

Here's another rant about autumn: it means winter isn't too far off.

winter is my favorite weather season.

if baseball was played during the winter I'd just hibernate during the summer.

I hate driving in the snow. Otherwise winter isn't too bad.

Looove fall and winter. You can put more clothes on, when necessary, but there's only so much you can take off.

Winters here blow, and they are worse for Kyle.

I love spring and fall.

I love making chili on the first cool day. It was better in college when we could skip classes and sit outside in sweatshirts and jeans, listen to music and drink beer while the chili simmers.

I would agree with winter being my favorite season.

This is truly a rant/rave for me.
