Fall or autumn -- whatever -- meteorologically-speaking "officially" started 7 days ago, and it sure feels like it here in Central Oregon tonight.
I was dressed in t-shirt and shorts and sandals when I left Redding, CA midday today, but such minimal wear wasn't totally appropriate when I arrived in Bend at about 5:45 this evening.
Cool wind, dark heavy cloulds -- of a type that look more like wintery cloulds than thunder clouds -- and it's about 61F.
Good thing I have a plane ticket for later this week to Charleston, SC -- where it's still hot and muggy summer. But it's meteorological fall there, too -- no matter what it feels like.
