Looks like today (September 20) is going to be the last day of summer, temperature-wise (91°F) here in north Texas. Unless the weather folks have cocked it up completely, temps are dropping into the 70s over the weekend (with autumn showers coming in), and it seems unlikely that the mercury will climb much over 80°F even after the showers have gone.
Yes, British- and Euro Readers: a daytime high temperature in the high 70s and low 80s (22-27 in your stupid Celsius thing) is what passes for autumn Over Here. You may now eat your livers.

Sometimes I wonder when I’m ever going to lose the childish impulse to react in the precise opposite way to officially-mandated stupidity. Here’s one example of the latter:
Los Angeles would become the largest city in the U.S. to ban the sale of fur products if the City Council approves a proposed law backed by animal activists who say the multibillion-dollar fur industry is rife with cruelty.
The council was expected Tuesday to direct the city attorney to draft a law prohibiting the manufacture or sale of fur products in the city.
The ban would cover apparel made in whole or in part of fur – including clothing, handbags, shoes, hats, earmuffs, jewelry and keychains.
I don’t live in LA, of course, nor would I ever; but if I did, I’d be buying one of these things tomorrow:
The paws are a nice touch, don’t you think?
I don’t know where I could wear it in order to create the greatest outrage, however; perhaps some of my California Readers could suggest a few choice locations (e.g. Century City) in Comments?
From Reader Richard H. comes this little snippet from an earlier (and braver) time:
Puts a little perspective on things, doesn’t it?
That, or it just proves that golfers are fucking crazy.
