This is the most idiotic weather ever. At least last night the storm decided to be proper (lightning and thunder, but nothing close enough to shake the flat and scare the animals), but today it's just overcast. If I want rain, I want rain, not just some half-assed occasional spit.

Although I'd prefer sunny fall weather, really ... but would you guys ...?

Do you like autumn / fall / (other possible names for this season that I've missed?)

First: Like it -- 19%
Second: Love it / I like Hallowe'en, so that makes it okay. -- 15%
Third: Not cold enough. / Blah, school starts. -- 4%

Uncreativity Penalty: -25 for nitpicking on whether it's fall or not in other parts of the world. I should take the points away from myself for not thinking of that, but I tend not to remember that I have readers outside Virginia the US.

Points

* 'Tis' Bitter/sweet, for riding season comes to an end shortly therafter, but the summer sun isn't cooking you when you ARE out.': There are two people this could be, so I can't claim any money.

* 'Hell yes! What other time of year do I get a (Communist) governement mandated holiday nearly 2 weeks long which I will use to get lost in backwater country Guiyang?': Now! You are Kami and I claim my five pounds.

* 'I'd adore it, if the climate region I live in didn't typically give it a miss and move right along into winter-- or rather, rainy-season.': +10 for sympathy.

* 'Love it, it's got my son's birthday, my birthday, AND Halloween in it! What's not to like?... Except that this year I hit 30 so I say ban this Fall! (But bring it back next year!)': +50 to get you some better running shoes.

Correct Answer: 'How does one in autumn's years bear the onset of winter twilight, the fullness of beauty slipped into long, final night?'

Now, let's hope the weather lets me wake up a bit more. If you have been, I mean it.
