10. I was wondering why it's so hot and damp here in western Mass!

Hot, humid weather is totally inappropriate for mid-September, but the penny didn't drop til now that it's a side effect of the hurricane.

I can recall a big hoo-hah shortly after I moved to the Boston area in the '80s -- there was going to be a BIG HURRICANE! It was going to HIT BOSTON! So I taped up my windows and did all the other stuff, took my cats downstairs to spend the night in the cellar under a sturdy workbench...

...and nothing. Warm, heavy rains, some wind. Some flooding on the Cape. The lights flickered once. Took me forever to get the sticky tape residue off the curséd windows.
