Who Turned Up the Air Conditioning?

Over the past few days, the temperatures have fallen. This morning when I awoke, it was a balmy 27 degrees , that isn't celcius folks,that is Farenheight. Scary that just a few days ago, we were in the 50's. Strange how Mother Nature just says, "Enough fooling around, it is November!" It just reminds us that we have no control over the elements, as much as our human arrogance thinks we do, we don't. The meteorologists can predict and theorize and look at their doppler radar, but in the relative scope of reality, well it is all just a wash. The weather does what it does. NO explaining it, it just does. Personally, I just laugh when people complain about the temperature, the precipitation, and what ever comes our way. I think to myself, "What season is this?" THen I remember where we are in the calendar, and nod and say, "Yeah, right on the money." If it is summer, it is hot, humid and at times unbearable. If it is fall, it is chilly, winter, yup, should get snow, and it should be cold. Spring dawns a little chilly, we get rain, and rain, and well, the weather eventually evens itself out. That is our climate here on the Island. Why do we complain about it? I guess because it makes for good conversation, we need to hear our own thoughts or is it just that we need to complain. SOmetimes I think that it is the latter. I need to complain at times, don't you? Weather affects my mood, I can't help it, it does. Too many dreary days and I am dreary. When the wind howls and the rain pelts, I wish I could just pull the covers over my head, and stay there, in bed. No explaining it, but I just get out of bed, start the day and hope for the best. That is all I can do. The person that I feel horrible for is my husband. His job is an outdoor one. He needs to be outdoors drilling water wells. He works ou of his union hall for a contractor who drills commercial water wells for drinking water and the like. There are times when there is no shelter other than his service truck. SO, coffee break and lunch are taken in the small enclosed space. He turns up the heat and hopes to thaw out. Layers are the key to keeping warm. Still there are days that even that doesn't help. Those are the days that he comes home and takes a long warm shower, and bundles up when he comes out of it. THose are the days he falls asleep early on the couch with a blanket over him. Those are the days I feel terrible for him and want to do something for him. It just goes to show you that we are powerless to the weather, and we need to protect ourselves from it. I really don't know where this is going, just doing what I do best, rambling........Anyhow, I will stop now, I will wish all a good day and for those of you who are in the "cool, or cold zone," put on your coats, zip them up, and have a good day!
