A Touch of Autumn

Ok, after several straight days of 100+ temperatures (often accompanied by unusual humidity) a couple weeks ago, anything below 90 would feel unsummery. But that's not it. No, the sign of change was the sky this morning. Mackerel. Not the thick ceiling of June gloom. But patchy cotton balls. A bit of breeze. Cool and comfortable.

Just talked to my brother. He said the ocean temp is down in the low 60s. Autumn is here. White shoes are out. Wetsuits are back in fashion.

Of course, the transition will be beyond doubt once we have our first Santa Anas. Indian summer is not summer. It is most definitely autumn.
