Labor Day

Well if you follow the belief of the Schooner Creek area windowless weather people today is the official end of summer. It seems that changing holiday dates to co inside with Saturdays and Sundays was not enough. The weather folks decided to change the seasons So all you folks out there that care, its now officially Fall. Now I will have to admit that it has been cool enough the last week or so that My Judy and I have turned off the AC. However this afternoon as I BBQ'ed the official last pork steaks of the summer I happened to notice that the trees are still very green, the grass looks like it is still growing and what little tomato plants I have left are still in bloom. Now how is that suppose to go along with the Official end of Summer. Why, I seen boats on the lake with kids being towed on rubber toys, and when I was at the grocery store there was a woman in there wearing a swim suit cover up over a swim suit. She was with a man wearing flowered swim shorts and a muscle shirt with a Miller high life beer logo. I had to tell them that they were not dressed for Fall, the man looked at his watch and said he still had 6 hours of summer left. Well that explains why they were looking at me wearing a long pants a flannel shirt and jacket. I heard him say to the woman as they walked away, "Hillbillies......"
So now I am confused. If it is still summer does that mean I can wear white? Should I put my straw cowboy hat away and break out the felt ones? Must I move my summer shirts to the storage and get my winter clothes out? If it stays warm what should I wear? I never did like the shorts and jacket ensemble you see on some men. (If its cold enough to wear a jacket, put on some pants for goodness sake.) I know that some kids wear wool watch caps all summer, does that mean they will go hat less in the fall or just change colors? The more I think about it the more confusing it becomes. Just to show how bad it is I was listening to the news yesterday and the commentator was spreading gloom and doom about the Christmas shopping season. I turned it off. As a matter of fact, I believe I'm going to turn them all off. After all, I cannot change the weather so why should I care what the windowless weather people see in their magic screens. Fish don't care if it is raining, they are wet anyway. As far as politics go, I plan to do the only thing I can this fall and not vote for one single politician currently in office local, state or federal. I'll vote for the person running opposite. (Spread the wealth, give some other crook a fair shot at my tax dollars) Why should I worry over what politician is taking what group of people for an imaginary ride. I don't see where my watching the President is going to change my opinion of him and how he is doing. I did not vote for him and I'm sure he cares less about my everyday issues. Wow, I just freed up a whole lotta time....and that knucklehead in North Korea won't mind.
