Fall

I love the fall for many reasons. I know, you northern folk will say we don't have a fall and I agree, i include our "winter" with our fall. When the temperature begins to drop a few degrees and I can actually wear sweaters again I am at my happiest. Then there is daylight savingst time and I get an extra hour of sleep during that "fall back" time. One of the other things i like that is a special feature of living in southeastern Louisiana. Around the first cold front of the year they begin to harvest the sugar cane. During the first few weeks of this process it smells starchy-sweet, reminiscent of a freshly opened can of corn. It reminds me of the holidays for some reason. The only problem is that that only lasts for the first week or two. Then they burn the cane fields to refertilize the soil, now this also smells kinda good, if you like the way fire smells. The only problem being that they burn ACRES of fields, so there is pounds of dust that falls on everything. THEN after about a week of that the air smells AWFUL like sulfer. It's terrible. Apparently, something in the processing has some kind of sulfer byproduct.

All in all, i'm happy it's fall. Happy Fall everyone!

Comedy

This exchange took place between kevin and I the other day i thought it was funny.

Kevin after getting off the eliptical machine at gym: "Man i'm so bummed, i only ran a nine minute mile instead of my usual seven minute mile"

Me: "I love you baby, but i don't think you are running a seven minute mile. We are both way too out of shape for that to be right. I think the machine is lieing to you. Why don't you try running a mile on the treadmill and see what it says."

Kevin: "Ok, I bet you I can run a mile in seven minutes! What will you give me if i run a seven minute mile?"

Me: "CPR"
