The weather here is AWFUL right now. Basically it’s 43 degrees with blowing horizontal rain. This is more suited to a Michigan December than a Long Island mid-October. What a rip off this year has been, weather-wise. I at least got to escape the “June Of Torrential Rain” that Long Island had this year, tomato famine and all. However, when I got here in July it took a week or two to really get summery. Then labor day it was like someone flipped a switch. It was crisp and cool. We had a few warm days but not many. And NOW, it looks like FALL has taken a hiatus and dropped us right into the lap of winter. Boy am I glad I’m taking off for California in like 10 days.
Not to mention the surf has been awful. Usually September and October are full of nice sunny days with light winds and some clean waist-chest high waves. I think I can count on one hand how many days of good clean waves we’ve had since Labor day.
The escape to California is on!
I have to admit, it was kind of nice to get that feeling of the season change since I’ll soon be in San Diego, the place of the eternal 70 degree forecast.
Meanwhile…I have the travel bug again. I have this crazy idea to go to some pretty exotic places, like Bali. More on that soon. It’s late, and I’m tired!
