People-watching is a great pastime. Especially in the fall, when I’m in the mood to reflect. It’s the perfect opportunity to learn more about the world. As I observe the people whizzing past me downtown each day, it’s rather interesting, this time of the year, to notice the clothing. Especially the women’s clothing. Quite a few people are firmly, absolutely ready for fall. They are wearing long pants, sweaters, and boots. Some hard-core optimists have even pulled out their scarves. Many of these fall hopefuls are wearing rusty autumn colors, no doubt trying to help the new season along. A large contingent, however, is obviously hoping that the warm summer season will linger a little longer. (It’s a good thing they live in Sacramento, because it no doubt will.) They are still wearing flip-flops, sleeveless tops, and bright, flowery summer colors. It’s been quite entertaining to marvel at the clashing attitudes, revealed by women’s clothing, as the world is caught between the seasons.
The days are getting shorter. I have mixed feelings about the darkness. I hate it because it’s gloomy. But, on the other hand, I love it because it helps bring on that wonderful fall feeling. It just wouldn’t be fall without shorter days.

Welcome to the world of annoying (but often amusing)comments! Glad you gave up like the rest of us.
Good grief! What state do you live in again? Oh yeah, California... people are already wearing scarves? Is it really that cold or are they just obsessive? It's still like 80 degrees and 'round here our leaves actually change.
BTW - personal shout out. The Bobby McFerrin concert was soooo AWESOME!!!! I'm still pumped!
