It Is Time To Admit Fall Is The Superior Season

Summer is winding down, the temperature is starting to not be unbearably hot, The NFL is so close I can taste it, AND The MLB Post-season is a month away. As a child, all this also meant that the school year was also coming up. The arrival of school and bringing back actual responsibilities was horrible. As an adult who has responsibilities 12 months out of the year, Fall just becomes the absolute best time of the year. I will be able to stop cutting the grass and doing lawn work every weekend and can instead make chili and watch football for 48 hours straight.

If you walk outside in 95 degree heat with a wild amount of humidity and think, “I love this weather,” you are a psychopath. The beach is also absolutely overrated. There are no bathrooms, sand gets all over, and the people next to you simply will keep playing their music loud putting you in a competition for who will play their music louder. Oh and I almost forgot the fucking sunburn that ruins your life for a week.

Don’t even get me started on the ocean. FUUUUUCK that. More than 80% of the ocean is unexplored. I do a quick jump in and out took cool down, but that just makes everything worse! You get all salty, skin gets dry, hair gets all gross. The best part of going to the beach is getting out of the shower when you get home.

Spring does come close to fall. The weather is getting warmer, but you don’t start sweating immediately when walking outside. The days start getting longer and you can enjoy the outside. This is the time of year the wife makes me grill 5 times/week and I have to start some serious lawn renovations for the summer. Can’t forget about losing an hour of sleep. That may be the worst week of the year.

Winter sucks. The air hurts. Every winter I walk outside and say “I voluntarily live in a place where the air hurts my face.” I have not once tried to change that.
