It's Fall, Y'all!

The weather has changed in Texas. It’s still in 80's during the day. BUT, two weeks ago it was 94 degrees with a heat index of 105 so this is much better. We are not complaining.

I sniffed the air this morning and felt fall leaves and pumpkins in it. They weren’t tangible per se, but they were there anyway! The fall aura told me so.

With the temperatures like this, I often feel more hopeful, like maybe life after the 2016 election won’t be so bad after all…right? Did anyone watch the debate? I did, for about 15 minutes. When I realized that I could do a better job of Donald Trump at debating, I soon lost my appetite and turned it off. I don’t think he really wants to be president. I think this is all as much of a surprise to him as it was to all of us. I honestly believe he wakes up in a new world every morning and one morning about 6 months ago he thought, “Gee, today is a GREAT day to run for president! Maybe I’ll try out. Should be fun!”

And Hillary…I don’t want to talk about her. There’s no sense in ruining a perfectly lovely morning with thoughts of Hillary Clinton.

On mornings like this I feel excited and joyful. I wonder if world dictators feel like this also. I wonder if they wake up on nice mornings and decide to execute only 50 people that day instead of 500. Are they affected by beautiful days? Was Hitler temporarily lifted from his madness when it turned fall in Germany?

These are strange thoughts but I’ve often wondered things like this. What really happens when Kim Jong Un has the flu? He must get sick just like everyone else. Dictators are people too, horrible, maleolvent people, but human beings comprised of flesh and bone just like the rest of us. I wonder if they get migraines…I wonder if North Korean officials secretly breathe a sigh of relief each time the dictator gets a cold. It's useless to speculate about things like this, but fun nonetheless. 

Anyway, today is a beautiful day and it is supposed to be a beautiful weekend. It’s a beautiful life, y’all! Enjoy the outdoors.
