Overboard by Chip Dunham for September 10, 2018

I don’t see why Nate’s complaining! He’s got insulation!!

“I’d like to call back summertime

And have her stay for just another month or so.

She got the urge for going,

And I had to let her go.” (Joni)

Where does she think she’s going? She’s still got two weeks left!

Think I see old man winter out near the horizon . .

Nate – autumn is soooo beautiful. At least it is where I live. Summer has been lovely, but much too hot for my taste. Farmer’s Almanac says we are in for a mild winter. That must mean only two blizzards and one ice storm. On second thought, I’m with Nate. Come back Summer!!!!

What have they got against Nate?

I look forward to Winter bringing a relief to Summer’s heat, and look forward to Summer bringing relief to Winter’s cold. When I do start to complain about one or the other, I know the following season will soon be here. (In my book the couple of days for Spring and Autumn aren’t usually long enough to complain about.)

And I say, “Hie thee to another continent, summer! I welcome fall and winter with open arms.”

These are pirates, but also sailors – they can sail to the tropics and experience “summer” weather year round…

We in SC have been experiencing never ending Summer but with hurricane Florence we’re about to feel Fall.

At 8,500’ in the middle of Colorado, I’ve seen it snow from September to June (a thousand feet higher and I coulda said July), and be in the 70’s a couple of days later…

4 months of non stop hot weather, very hot, and a serious drought here in Michigan we say thankfully goodbye to a lousy summer.

Bring on Fall!

Arctic butterfly’s?

After living in the Caribbean & Africa with constant Summer, I quite enjoy the seasons now & love wearing a thick sweater & a nice coat but Winter does seem to outstay her welcome sometimes!!!

It’s 55 in michigan

My friends are out combining 4000 acres of wheat, mustard and canola. Its fall overnight and summer in the afternoon. Daylight getting shorter but they run till all hours.

Another week in the low 80s for the Chicago area. The Pirates of Lake Michigan are still warm, if wary about fallout from Hurricane Florence.

Good afternoon, crew!

Past few weeks have been constant high humidity, then, just like that, literally overnight, the weather turned cold, and it has been raining since Friday, non-stop! Flood warnings and watches all over PA. And now Flo is headed our way, I guess. Summer just vanished. SIGH! I’m with Nate! I wonder if she would listen to me? :-D

Good afternoon Crew!

I am one of the few people I know who is not a summer person (I have a heart condition that is not tolerant of heat or humidity) so I am happy to see it go.

However I do feel badly for those who will miss it. Mainly because I will hear a LOT of complaining about how cold it is. My mother likes the sunlight (I think she is a plant.)

♫My life will be forever Autumn‘cause you’re not here.♫

I feel your pain, Nate! I’m not big on either fall or winter.

What? We have 14 more days.

Personally, I’d be happy if summer lasted all year long. Or failing that, if we just had a brief spring/autumn on either side, and said “Nice knowin’ ya” to winter …

Good Evening, Crew.

My wife has fibromyalgia. This summer was brutal for her—the humidity.
