More Autumn Heat

The heat is back in the Ohio River valley. For some reason, summer will not go away. Leaves are falling off of trees, but instead of exhibiting a wide range of autumnal colors, they're just going straight to brown and dying. Fall is my favorite season. In my youth, Louisville used to experience fall. Then, I moved away to Boston for awhile, came back and found autumn had moved away.

On a related note, while watching the vice presidential debate the other night, Sarah Palin's comments about global warming really resonated with me (and I'm sure with many other know-nothing, mentally defective wingnuts). To sum it up: no, there is no such phenomenon as global warming. Maybe there has been a slight increase in global temperature, but it's just part of the temperature cycle that jesus and randy christ laid out 2000 years ago (incidentally, our new earth's 2000th bithday!). However, none of this shit: polar ice cap melting, violent weather events, polar bears migrating into arctic population centers and demanding welfare - which the minority loving dems are all too happy to hand out - is a result of human behavior. In short, this isn't our fault. It's god's plan and we don't really understand or know the cause, but that's not going to keep us from fixing it!!?!!

Hey Sarah Palin, I want autumn back! Can you please pray for that? I know it's anathema to f around with the grand plan, but this really sucks. Could you please just talk to him a bit? Think of the children! No more candy apples and jack-o-lanterns! No more pumpkin pies! First, they went and deprived the children of their baby dinosaur playmates (not sure how, whatever climate even took out the dinosaurs must not have affected people. I guess person technology was more advanced back then). Now, he wants to take away the babies' apple cider! We can't let this happen. Pray for us! While you're at it, could you axe for the dinosaurs back? My nephew doesn't get along too well with people. He's allergic to dogs and cats. He needs a companion. His allergist has signed off on a pet pterodactyl, but we can't seem to find one. Help us, Sarah Palin; you're our only hope!

Fortunately, the heat just came today, so yesterday was still pretty pleasant (low 70's). So, yesterday's 10-miler was nice. Today's 12-miler won't be quite so great. Temperature has reached 80 and it's only 1:30pm.
