Summer is by far my favourite season:

• t-shirt weather 24/7
• Days that last forever (dawn before 5, dusk till after 10).
• Bright bright sunshine.

Fall may be my least favorite season:

• t-shirt weather only indoors
• it gets dark far too early
• its gray (like all the time)
• even when its sunny, the shadows are long

What does this have to do with anything?  As the seasons and weather changes so does the colour of my Cube.  The colour changes are very easily explained, but my 'Ocean Surf' coloured Cube can be any number of shades from bright blue, to gray to green.

Back in the middle of summer when the sun was super bright and high in the sky, the cube sparkles a brilliant vibrant blue. Since the sun has been going down earlier my Cube has been spending more time under the gastly glow of yellowish city street lights rendering it a weird greenish colour.  With the miserable cold overcast skys that we've been having lately my Cube is dulled to an equally miserable gray colour.

I'm not complaining about the colour changes.  I'm just amused by the fact my least favourite season conspires to muddy my favorite colour.

I hate winter almost as much as fall, but I am looking forward to what the Cube will look like on a sunny crisp winter day next to blankets of white snow.  Maybe I can make friend with winter again if I can get back my bright blue Cube.
