I've seen some yellow leaves on the ground and a couple of denuded trees ... then, the rains came today. Pretty soon the terns will be here.

It was completely dark when I got back from my ride last night. I did it faster than I've ever done it and left at the same time as I always do.

It shall be fall soon

The only thing yellow here is the grass, and that is because of the 30+ days of >95deg heat.

What is this "fall" season you speak of? Is that when it's not balls-hot? Sounds nice.

Still damn hot here, but the 6am rides now start out in the dark, and the 6pm rides now end in the dark.

I'm looking forward to the temperature dropping under 70, at night. I think mid may was the last time this happened.
