Fall's Really Here

How do I know? First day in tights, that's how. It was only supposed to be between 12 and 15 Celsius (50s) today, and I had to be on the road by 8 am. Just getting over a cold, it did not seem necessary to push it. Also wore three layers on top, two with long sleeves, one turtle necked. And riding out I was glad I had put it all on. It's nothing to be particularly mournful about, of course. We've had a very decent spring, summer, and September, and it's not as if winter has suddenly arrived. Plus, there may be no reason any more to take the clippers to the legs--a big time and hassle saver. Also got rained on a little on the way home, a very thin drizzle. To mark the occasion we decided to turn on the heat for the first time since May or so.
