In town, Dad insisted on a Christmas Eve fire in the fireplace every year so, every year, we'd crank up the AC to full-blast. Changed reaction from thanks to lol to reflect my own mental meanderings while reading this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, during the day, in the sleeping bag was where all the bugs (damned Poikilotherms) went to hide from the heat, and they had little reason to leave at sunset.

passthebiscuits 6,844 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Today the sound of snare drums and whistles filled the air. Our family did a little shopping downtown and the taste of Toomer's lemonade is still on our tongues. After a scorching midday, a nice heavy rain fell and there's a distinct smell of fall in the air. Oh yes, the Nip is drawing ever closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood but, in an ecologically holistic sense, opportunistic. I've seen academic studies showing that the optimum application for your brand-new bug zapper is to give it to your neighbor as a present; put that attractive light in a nearby place you won't be going to anyway.

Also the grass isn't growing as fast so cutting weekly is not necessary at this point. The Amory HS band will soon serenade us during their night practices. It's here. My wife was born in Amory. Her mother and father grew up there. Great place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,134 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 It hit 98 in Allen today. But the kids at Church on Sunday were talking about Band Practice. I live in hearing distance when the band practices at Allen HS. That is when I know football season is getting near and the nip is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Still no sign of colors up in the delta (and, as an aside, don't think I'll ever figure out why locals call that the Dolly Parton Bridge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUsince72 11,084 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I'm reading actual football news, practice reports, seeing interviews, RiR is sending pictures, my AU Football Man-crush Tega is solid at LT, I'm feeling like a Sunshine Pumper again. Ah yes, the nip is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,791 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Thanks for starting this thread so I can experience the nip vicariously (won't feel it here in Tallahassee until somewhere around Halloween). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Nip" is more than a chill in the air. It's the sights, sounds and sometimes the feel that AU football is just around the corner. Living in Mobile, I know that the feel of a chill in the air won't be around for awhile, but the nip is already here. Having a son in the high school band helps. Edit: And the fact that recruiting board is dead should be a big time give away that the nip is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jAUSon 2,836 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Waiting for the sun to make different looking shadows; for the humidity to lift so we can hear the high school band drilling a couple miles up the road. Our kids went off to school this morning. It's almost here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumterAubie 3,031 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Picked up on one of my favorite signals yesterday. A light breeze blowing through the trees. The sound is different in late summer than in the Spring, as the leaves are drying. A sure harbinger Autumn is nigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looney 794 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I just felt my first nip reading through the Scrimmage 1 thread. Y'all, it's not cold in here. I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
