The End of Autumn...
It was 37 degrees this morning -- after it had warmed up a little. It's now 45 degrees at 10 a.m.
I was laughed at when I mentioned it to a colleague. She called it "jacket weather."
I'm thinking it's the end of fall and the beginning of schadenfreude* season for our friends and family back East. Enjoy yourselves!

At least us foax back east were laughing at you behind your back, unlike that Dakotan colleague of yours, who laughed in your face. No class.
By the way, what we're feeling is schadenfreude. "Poor Tom, I hope he's not too cold and I hope all those people who said 'I told you you'd be cold!' are hanging their heads in shame [schaden]!" <--that's Schadenfraude, because (I'm ashamed to say) I don't really mean it.
It's true what Homer says: "Those Germans have a spellcheck for everything!"
By the way #2, "I zink you vant to keel your pappa und zleep wiz your mutter, jah?" <--That is Schigmundfreude.
