Try to remember the sexbots of September Well, color me fall and kiss a Beetlejuice jack-o-lantern! Yes, the autumnal equinox (Sept.
22) has arrived! So just what, exactly, is this seasonal equinox thing we keep hearing about? Well kidz, it has nothing at all to do with that congressional invention called Daylight Saving Time, thanks to which, magically at 2 a.m.
on Nov. 3, time rolls backwards by an hour. No, an equinox is an equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes. There are two of them each year (autumn and spring), not to be confused with the solstices (winter and summer, which, respectively, are the shortest and longest annual days of daylight).
And I, for one, feel like I could definitely use a nice long draught of spiked pumpkin juice. Hands down, this has just been one of the most surreal summers I’ve ever skipped the beach for.
