Is It Fall Yet?

How many of you out there remember the episode in the Twilight Zone where the Earth's orbit slowly began to take it closer and closer to the sun? Well whether you do or not doesn't matter much, but I just thought I'd give a special intro to my gripe.
Even as far north as in New York here it's become rather hot and humid. Not that I would mind if it were August, or if I could afford a bloody air conditioner or even more than one fan that actually worked...but I digress.
This gripe is more about the tourists that invade the beach like little cockroaches every summer. Granted I can understand, it's the city and it gets awfully hot, and there are only so many beaches that can be accessed by train, bus, or ferry. But seriously, there are at least 3 other beaches that are much closer than the hour and a half trip it takes to get out here. Larger too.
About 2 weeks ago I was coming home on the train, and of course the shuttle train was late as usually and the entire platform was filled with these horrible noisy beach toursits. Of course what they don't realize is that during the weekdays the shuttle train is only half the size and so all the little roaches try to push their way into the first car instead of walking down and going into one of the other cars. I suppose their brains were baked or something but GOD was it ever annoying!! I mean the bitch that was standing next to me stepped on my foot three times and sprayed this horribly cheap perfume that smelled more like cat piss.
Deeeeeep breath. Now, I know it's good for all the shops as well, considering this is such a small little town and if it weren't for the beach no one would know we exist out here. But these...things are all over the place and buy up everything! How am I supposed to go out and get food if there's nothing left to get! And that's not the worst of it. For some reason the roaches seem to think that everyone in the world wants to hear their horrible music and so blast so loud that I can hear it up here on the seventh floor! And I can't close my window because then I won't get any breeze off the beach. The whole thing sincerely makes me wanna cry...I hate these stupid people who just ruin this place for the 8 weeks of summer...all I wanna know now is one thing...

Is it fall yet?
