- When I first came
to LA in 2000 I was shocked to find out how hot
September was, but pleasantly surprised that October
was like a perfect early fall day: 70 during the day
and 50 at night. The best part? That continued for
MONTHS. Like into April and May. I finally
understood! THIS is what people love about LA.
I get it now. For 7 months it's PERFECT. 3 other
months are great... 2 months are kinda fucking awful
and hot. But wow is October - May just
grrrrrrrrrreat.
-
- Something has
changed and it's getting nuts. I know we all want to
yell global warming and sure - we're witnessing some
of that, but this has changed in the past 5 years, not
over a long period of time. Soon September wasn't the
end of the heat... a first week of October crept in...
then w years ago it was absolute craziness: November
1st was HOT. Like 90s. 2015 - red letter day, couldn't
believe it...
...but then in 2016, on November 15th - it was so hot
the kids did the slip and slide. Usually when we have
hot days in our "fall" it's hot just in the sun and
just for like an hour and then it gets cool. Not
really confortable to swim in... because there's an
innate COLD in the shade. But last year? Mid-November
it was so hot for so many days, this was
feasible.

- This year?
Thanksgiving. Effectively erasing what used to be 2 of
our nice months. This is fucked up. This is actually
depressing to me as these months are the heart of why
I love this part of the country.
I LOVE bundling up. I love fall
weather. I love 50-60 degrees. Lovvvvvvvvvvve it.
Favorite shit ever.
-
- Now we have to
wait until DECEMBER? And if memeory serves we had hot
days in March or even February this year? So we're
down to 3 good months? UGGGGGGGGGGGGGH.
-
- Anyway, here's our
annual Christmas tree video in 95 degree heat. I gotta
tell you - getting fat and growing a beard at the end
of the year isn't fun when it's 95.
-
-
- Let the Christmas
season begin. For the love of fuck, let it
begin.
