In the USA, the season of Summer runs from the Summer Solstice to the Autumn Equinox, i.e. from June 21 to September 23. I've always hated it when people say "Summer's almost over" in early August, when we're actually only halfway through it!
@Doodpants It always feels like the seasons are off, though. Or at least out of alignment with school summer vacations. June-Aug = summer, even though the equinox says otherwise.
@rockblossom They still use this commercial. Those kids are probably parents now. Jeeze, google tells me it was from 1996. So, 19 years. Yeah, the kids are the parents now. LOL
They say it because it is. The days start getting shorter and slightly cooler everday after the equinox. The earth atmosphere andbground just help the daily temps hold during the night so the temps still go up thru august but september the nights have gotten colder and longer and the temps drop quickly. Mid august means its all down hill
@Teripie I have 4 butter-cookie tins full of sealed bag candy-corn M&Ms from last fall, Candy Cane Kisses and peppermint M&Ms from last Christmas, and one last precious bag of cherry cordial kisses. All bought at 50% or more off.
The nearby Menards is starting to prep for fall; although Halloween wasn't out yet, I saw the boxes being staged ;)
I'm actually sad this song did not go further, and tell us how after autumn, the rest of the year will go by quickly, and then paint a bleak picture of the rest of our lives, making us feel like the complete losers we are--and ending on an especially low note of us dying without amounting to anything in life--not even making it to purgatory because we suck so bad. Yes, this video had so much more potential.
A turntable ?? For every season turn turn turn..
@AttyVette And a time to every purpose, under heaven...
@AttyVette
Oh god. Now I actually legit feel sad.
Way to go, jerks.
But it was so hot! I had to stay inside. :(
Uh-oh. You may have offended Iggy by calling people 'dumbshits.'
Fuckin' a, bring on autumn already!
@brhfl Cooler weather and football? I'm all in.
No it isn't. We have about 3.5 months more summer here.
It's always pretty much summer here in LA.

@Thumperchick but it's the school semesters that are out of whack with the seasons, rather than the other way around.
Is it too soon to decorate for Halloween?
@Teripie Its not too soon to buy Halloween candy, so no! Decorate away!
@duodec I buy Halloween candy the day after Halloween. That supply will keep me until Xmas and it's day-after stuff.

School starts next week here in Nebraska...
@ManBehindPlan Seriously? When does the school year end? And how many snow days get built into the schedule?
When autumn gets here, it will finally be cool enough to go outside during the day.
Well, if you wouldn't keep making stuff I have to see, I wouldn't keep wasting my time on this site.
Once school starts, summer is over in my mind. We've got three more weeks to live it up, and then bring on Halloween!
Thanks for the ray of hope, @Matthew!
September is the most amazing time for the beach in Jersey.
It's 105 out ya bastards. You should know that, you live in Dallas. I've stayed inside and away from heatstroke like a sane person.

In Austin, TX area myself. Can't wait for not to walk outside onto the surface of the Sun.
Winter is Coming

Get ready for the invasion of Pumpkin flavored everthing......
@somf69 Nothing nastier than fake pumpkin flavoring.
@jaremelz - And fake banana flavor. Yuck.
@KDemo It leaves the strangest feeling in your mouth! Like, cloudy vomit. Not the best description, but that's how it feels.
@jaremelz - Don't care for pumpkin or banana in any form. Well, except for jack-o-lanterns. And pumpkin seeds.
@KDemo I do love pumpkin pie. But bananas are really only good to me when stuck in a blender with some Carnation instant breakfast and milk and ice.
@somf69 Here's reviews of 70-some pumpkin beers & ciders from last year.
I imagine there will be at least as many this year, if not more.
Summer is nearing its end and I am still a fat slob. Classic.
Gone? :(
