Indian summer

I'm really hoping for an indian summer. We already had a frost advisory, so does that mean this warm weather is the indian summer? Hmmm, I sure hope so.
Soon, I'm going to take the long and slow moving drive down Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park. This 105 mile road contains 75 overlooks and some of the best 'leaf-peeping' that can be done in the autumn. The USDA Forest Service has an up-to-the-minute report on fall colours. Or there is a foliage report from the Foliage Network. NBC4 has a good fall resource on their Weather page.

And now for something completely different:

MH, who is a fabulously funny guy, reminded me of this quote when describing a mutual friend/acquaintance:

"Cameron has never been in love -- at least, nobody's ever been in love with him. If things don't change for him, he's gonna marry the first girl he lays, and she's gonna treat him like shit, because she will have given him what he has built up in his mind as the end-all, be-all of human existence. She won't respect him, 'cause you can't respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn't work."
-Ferris Bueller's Day Off


Sometimes, MH can be a really funny, but mean guy. I at least would have gone with that song, "When a Man Loves a Woman" at least it's not so degrading:
"If she's bad he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he put her down....
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can't ever see"....she's his world.
But no, MH went straight for the Cameron quote, but I have to admit, it is appropo. But, the lyrics of this song make it sound prettier.

You should come back from Japan MH, there's still many fish to get out of the Potomac!
