The nights are getting colder. The days are starting to get noticably shorter. Kids are coming back to college. I know that there is still a good month of nice warm weather, but school acts as a harbinger of things to come. Spending more time indoors sitting around, looking out windows waiting for the temperature to drop. Then in a couple months the thought of being outside at all is miserable. Im really kind of worried. Despite going through alot of shit I feel like this summer was one of the best summers I've ever had, and the tought of that coming to an end bums me out. I know that Lots of the incredible people that I've met and hung out with all summer are leaving, or are going to be busy at school and hanging out with different friends at diffferent places. The days of staying out till 5 am are almost done. Late night bike rides are going to be replace with late night paper writing. I know that I'm probobly over-reacting and that the weather and lack of school is just a small aspect of what made this such a good summer for me, and the larger part is that people that I was with and the impact that they had on me. And I know alot of those people aren't going anywhere and I'm bound to meet more good people in the months to come, but its still like saying goodbye to an old friend. Thats pretty much whats been on my mind recently. That said yesterday was a shining example of a perfect summer day. Despite the fact that I didn't get to visit people in River Falls. I ended up getting coffee, going tubing, and eating tons of awesome food made by awesome people. Then capping the night off in good company going to strange and exotic new locals(whisky dicks). Well enough of the sentimental bullshit, I guess I just wanted to thank all of my friends for helping me through a kind of shitty time in my life, and making this summer really really awesome. You are all great people, you know who you are. Thanks.
