Let's see...
It's the second of October. It's supposed to be sunny and 88 here in Marquette today. The last two times it was this nice in Marquette I was out of town and unable to take advantage of it. So...does taking a few hours off today to go and enjoy it make sense?
It does in my world.

Actually, I'm still kind of flabbergasted at how our weather this summer/fall has gone. Yes, I know a couple of weeks ago that I said I wouldn't whine about it any more, but this really is a somewhat unique situation, in which our September (and now, apparently, the first few days of October) end up being warmer than either our May (with its snow days) or August (with all of its gloom & rain).
And it's not just here, either. We were watching RB Leipzig's match Saturday night. This is the exact weekend when we went over there last year to watch a match, and if you recall, that day it was 45 and raining. But for their match on the same weekend this year?
Sunny & 82.
Strange things happen, I guess, when you break the planet.
Actually, we get a return to much more "normal" conditions later this week when it's supposed to be rainy and in the 40s, which makes a day like today that much more of a gift. And when you're given a gift, you're supposed to appreciate it, use it, and enjoy it, right? Which is what I plan on doing with it for at least a few hours today, before the reality of first radio and then TV beckons.
So, if you're in a place where you've been given the unexpected gift of a "summer" day, appreciate it. Use it. Enjoy it. Because even though we have broken the planet and our weather isn't always what it should be, we do know that a gift like this won't be given to us much longer, if at all, for the rest of the year.
Have fun with it!
