Dear Mother Nature & all you weather "experts": You owe me $7.69

Today IS October 8th, correct?
And I AM living in Connecticut, right?

So could someone please explain to me why it's Eighty-f-ing-three degrees out right now?

WHERE is Autumn? Where are the cool days that make you want to curl up with a cup of hot cocoa and stay inside because it's all rainy and nasty outside? The brisk mornings perfect for walking the dog? The "bundle up cause it's cold out" afternoons of raking leaves?

No, what we have is people dropping dead while attempting to run a marathon in excessive heat.

And me...dressing for the WEATHER FORECASTED...and packing the appropriate lunch.

74 and cloudy? Sounds like a good soup day.

But no...it has to be 83 and (blazing) sunny out. And I have to be sweating my ass off in a cashmere cardigan. And I can't possibly eat soup for lunch, so I drive to Panera to get something that won't make me sweat any more.

So I say to you Mother Nature and whoever the weather guy was on wtnh last night...you owe me $7.69 for my turkey and cheese on country with cucumbers - hold the mayo and pickle, chips and drink on the side.

I'll gladly take Paypal.

(should I just jack the rest of the 8 day forecast up by 10 degrees each day? Or do you think ya'll could get a bit better at your jobs?)
