I turn 21 this fall and I'm still dreading fall. Football is always what triggers this depression. I used to like football. I'd follow the Rams and Notre Dame and even played football. Now I can't stand it because of fall-winter.
There is a solution to this. Go to the other side of the equator.

1) Hike/backpack season begins as weather cools and bugs dissipate

3) The tourons in Chicago start to fade away
4) Gas gets cheaper
5) Beer is still widely available
Have a great summer!
Obviously Northwestern, HJ? I watched most of that game in Cleveland on Sat. I also love late summer and fall. The only thing that bums me out is my flowers dying. What fall flowers are available besides mums?

True. It's a great year in Evanston if the Wildcats win 8 games. They have a shot this year.
Mums are the only fall flowers I can think of. Mrs. Jack usually makes a few arrangements for the garden. You might have some luck keeping Impatiens going if you can get them some sun. My roses and lilies are pretty much done.

lol. I don't have sound on my computer here at work, but it looks like you're making an underwear reference. Well done!
I love fall. Summer is too hot. In fall the weather is nice, the bugs go away so you can hike. I had some pumpkin ale on Sunday (and an oatmeal stout which was good), I took an acorn squash and cooked it with some brown sugar... I'm a fall person.
50 degrees on the lakefront at 7am today. In six months, this will be balmy, but it's always a shock in late summer.
The honey locust in front is starting to drop yellow leaflets onto the ground. Mrs. Jack installed some nice mums and cabbage plants in front. The air feels crisp and clean...

Man what I would give for that. It's 75 degrees at 6:30 AM here but it's only supposed to be 94 today. I'm completely sick of hot weather by this point and the only trip I've taken recently was to Phoenix.
