Oh, No.

Allow me a moment to stray from sports. I noticed tonight that there's a frost/freeze advisory for the northern reaches of Minnesota and Wisconsin. All I can think of is "Oh, no." Living in a northern state, and sharing the Big Ten Confernece with the Gophers and Badgers, this little weather note is not comforting. It means the cold is on the way. Not that the changing leaves, the loss of sunshine or shelves of pumpkin themed displays at stores didn't go unnoticed, but a frost/freeze advisory? In August?!?! That's just plain painful.

I love autumn. I always like them to last a bit longer than the calendar calls for. I just prefer them to go into overtime (lasting until January 1), not start in the pre-season (August).
