The winds of change
The weather has been ridiculously warm of late—yesterday the temperature hit 80, despite its being the second-to-last day of November. I actually turned on the air conditioner in my car, which is not something I do lightly.
But winter’s about to come smack us in the face: there’s a mother of a cold front blowing through today. You should’ve seen the clouds skittering across the sky last night.
Did you click that link? The temperature is supposed to drop TWENTY DEGREES between 9:00 and noon. Yikes.
UPDATE (9:42AM): Okay, so the weather people weren’t kidding. When Sam and I left to go to the vet an hour and a half ago, it was warm, muggy, and still. Now? Rainy, blustery, and fucking freezing. So I should change before school—yesterday’s short sleeves and flip flops won’t cut it.
UPDATE2 (9:41PM): I didn’t forget to post a link today; I intentionally postponed it so I could get to my Syntax exam on time. In honor of Syntax, then, the final NaLiPoMo link will be Babel’s Dawn. It is, as the tagline says, a blog about the origins of speech, which just goes to show that no matter what you’re interested in, even if it’s pre-historical linguistics, someone somewhere is blogging about it.

Wow, 6 degrees is *so* not a real temperature. I refuse to believe it! In my world, temperature starts at around 50.
