It must be fall somewhere...

Yesterday I stopped in at my local Starbucks to grab some tea, and while I was waiting in line, I noticed a big sign beside the register advertising some sort of pumpkin-spice flavored concoction. It was the kind of hot drink you sip on a brisk fall afternoon after you've finished raking up a big pile of leaves. I couldn’t help but laugh as I collected my grande black iced tea lemonade, and went outside to my car, where the thermometer read 101F. Yep. 101F.

Welcome to the desert.
