It's rainy season here. There was a huge storm the past couple days.

It cool and cloudless right now, but that could change as the day goes by.

I was wondering if anybody here lived in a town where Homecoming was a big deal? Like I've heard where cities have the homecoming parade down Main Street. They never had anything like that at my high school. Although people really got into the Spirit Week themes of dressing up and took it over the top.

Here in small town America, the Homecoming/Alumni crap gets on my nerves. Signs everywhere, cars parked on street (and in the way)... etc. I guess I just don't understand the fascination with it. I've mentioned it before, but I think something has been lost over the decades from the 50's 60's to now. Maybe those who attended school in the 50's and 60's feel some kind of connection with their fellow students (aside from friends), but you don't see that in our generation.

In my hometown there are 2 main highschools and they parade down the street. But yeah I don't connect with that Friday Night Lights vibe at all.

The people at my high school would just get so crazy and competitive about the costumes, and they were a stickler for props.

For hobo day they would go around the school carrying around boxes of recyclables. For old people day they would "borrow" walkers and canes from their elderly relatives.

Just as I feared:

The temperature went up today.

Grrr...

It's 44 degrees. The coldest it's been this fall.

Yeah. Some sleet showed up here today. Not a lot, but it is about 45 degrees so... not feeling like Fall.

It rained here. Finally!
