Fall Sets In
And just like that, it got cold. The past few days were almost 90 and I personally thought that it was kinda weird for October in Indiana. As of yesterday, the temperatures are starting to drop…this morning was really chilly and I had to dig out my coat.
I have always been a big fan of fall because of the colors that the changing leaves present. There is something about the air too. I guess that its from breathing in the hot and humid air from the Summer, my body has to get used to the cool, crisp air.
Although the following is geared more towards Winter, I always have this song in mind when I start to notice Fall:
Black Ice – Andre 3000 – Goodie Mob
" Friends, Romans, countrymen lend me you eardrums
it was a beautiful day off in the neighborhood
Yellows and greens and blues and browns
and greys and hues that ooze beneath dilapidated wood
Ain’t a thing could explain but what pertains
to cocaine & sustaining rain
See summer roll around niggas all about change
then they steady move them keys like bob james
Coz old man winter’s arrived
the temperature dives
November just died
December’s alive
thus it ain’t no typical ride
just individuals way to bring home the bacon when bacon was all gone
making it our own taking me all wrong
We’ve all indulged in the bulge of those no-nos
no you ain’t solo, there’s even lower levels you can go
take sun people put them in the snow "
" Autumn is one of the four temperate seasons. Autumn marks the transition from summer into winter. In the northern hemisphere, the start of autumn is generally considered to be around September and in the southern hemisphere, its beginning is considered to be around March. There exists however a number of different definitions of autumn some of which are based on the months of the year while others are based on the equinox and solstice.
Around this time, deciduous trees shed their leaves, with the leaves changing to a reddish or brownish hue before falling. Such coloured leaves have come to be colloquially called "fall foliage". In the temperate zones, autumn is the season during which most crops are harvested, and deciduous trees lose their leaves. It is also the season during which days get shorter and cooler, the nights get longer, and precipitation gradually increases (in some parts of the world).
The word ‘autumn’ is derived from the French word "automne", and became popular in usage for the season since the 16th century. The North American name for the season, ‘fall’, probably derived as a contraction of the phrase "fall of the leaves", and since became used interchangeably. "
The BF2 Mod called BF Pirates has been released and I got a chance to give it a run. I only had about 45 minutes to check it out but I must say that I was impressed!
I decided to not go with the Alien Abduction theme this year. Although I had the space ship almost built and was in the middle of constructing the martians…I decided to go another route.
