During the hot months when I'm working outside sweating my butt off, I get really excited about autumn. And every year I forget that here in the #KC area we don't really do that season like everyone else.

Case study: 6 days ago I tooted about it being in the high 80s and loathing to turn on the AC. This morning? My car was frosted!
