Shot In The Dark: Sign of the Season

November 20, 2004

Sign of the Season

You can tell the change of the seasons in my little neighborhood here in the Midway of Saint Paul.

You know summer is ending when the Hamline University kids start moving in - and that fall has truly fallen when you find yourself stepping over little puddles of vomit along Hewitt Avenue.

You know it's almost furnace season when another of my neighbors throws her annual end-of-season party with all of her outrageously alcoholic offspring; the smell of burning furniture reminds you that it's time to check the batteries in your CO detector.

And you know it's nearly time for the first snowfall when the lady five houses down - who, with her husband is deeply bipolar - spends her annual two weeks in extended treatment; it was only a few nights ago that she rang the doorbell complaining that her husband, her landlady and the clerk at Superamerica were plotting to kill her.

Tis the season!

Have you sighted Garrison Keillor?

"You know summer is ending when:" I fry a Keg at the end of November and don't dare buy another one till March.

DAMN! I gotta start drinking Cans again, or maybe some Mr. Windsor!

I have a feeling it's going to be a long Winter.
