Indian Indian Summer

I suppose that's the term, anyway; 'Indian Summer' is a September-October reprise of summer, and what we're having now is a November reprise of Indian Summer. (I'm tempted to say that Gore has a term for this, but that would be confusing weather with climate--a favorite pasttime of the wingnuts, and one in which they will indulge the very next time we have snow flurries in September somewhere.) For the last few days we've had midday temperatures in the mid-70s, and not a cloud in sight--in San Francisco. Hotter still inland.
