It is acting like winter up here in the Northwest, even though it is only autumn. It has been cold and rainy and then cold and clear, and it feels so cold that it might snow, and then the next day it is raining so hard that I can't get to my car without being drenched and cold. What is worse is when you get all ready, holding about 40 pounds of things and stuff to bring out to your car, and you realized that you have locked your keys in the car. My volkswagen has a different key for the door lock, then for the ignition, so of course, I do not have a spare. So I pout, and step into a 5 inch deep puddle, covering my chucks and seeping into my socks. Ugh. But, for the record, I love it. It smells so good here, and it is so green and beautiful, that it is sorta worth it.
