Mach was mit Herbst

So, this is lame, but here it is: It’s fall in Tampa and I think the high today was 87 F. That’s a little warm for here, but it’s an El Niño here so the winter is supposed to be mild but stormy.

I miss the real fall.

I’ll be moving back into that zone in just slightly over a month. But without the experience of fall, the winter will be a sudden shock.

I am determined not to repine or worry.

However, the crazy weather here makes things hard. I’ve got a severe fall cold, but it feels like a summer cold. It’s time for That Soup, though it still feels too warm to eat it.

I have, as usual, recruited my favorite Vietnamese takeout restaurant to support me.

This comes with a plate on the side with bean sprouts, Thai basil, jalapeños, and lime.

Every time that delivery guy comes to my place, I find myself grateful again that people from Vietnam are willing to live in the United States. Thank you, Vietnamese people who have started these restaurants. I don’t know what I would do without you.
