Autumn Has Arrived

Wow, where did summer go?

I'm blown away that Autumn has arrived before I had a chance to say goodbye to summer. We hardly hung out.

On the bright side, now that all the tourists have gone home, we have our little town back. Whihoo! One of our quietest weeks recently ended. The tourists were all gone, and the UCSC students hadn't returned. Santa Cruz felt like a little Panguitch in a way. Probably the cool evening temperatures combined with the coziness of our pretty little town.

This is the season when we experience our best weather, so it's time to enjoy Indian summer - Santa Cruz style. I wonder why it's called Indian summer... Would Native American summer be more politically correct? And would Pakistani summer be offensive? And... if there are Indian summers, does that mean that there are Indian winters as well? How (couldn't resist the pun) about other Indian seasons?

Happy Autumn - Jewish New Year and all that jaZZ...
