Yes, summer is over. It ended a few days ago Sept. 21 to be exact. There s a hint of snow at higher elevations. Snow boards and skis are going on sale.
Football s back.
But Mother Nature is playing tricks on us at lower elevations, dealing the city of Colorado Springs unusually hot weather these past few days. Temperatures on Thursday reached 87 in the Springs. It wasn t a record, but it certainly came close to the record-high 88 that was set in 1953. And today looks to be a repeat, if a bit cooler. But, perhaps, Mark Twain was right when he said a lot of people talk about the weather, yet very few people actually do anything about it.
