MSC Cepheid Variable 845-1515 J oumey to The Center of The Earth: A professor organizes an expedition to travel through an Top Ten October is supposed to mean the summer heat finally dis appears, and cool fall weather comes in and makes you feel tingly all over. Frost on the pumpkin, blue northers, crisp ap ples. Right? Not so this year. Middle of October and everyone is still wearing shorts and sandals. What went wrong? Maybe you aren't wishing hard enough for cool weather. So this week the Focus staff decided to come up with 10 good reasons why the weather should get colder. Start wishing, and maybe that red liquid in your thermometer will dip below 50 degrees. 1 — You could wear that fuzzy bear suit you wanted to dress up in for Halloween. Without sweating off 10 pounds in the process. 2—Skin. Face it, you can't hide behind a suntan anymore, and you need those cold winds to put the "rosy" in your cheeks. 3 — Wool, corduroy and flannel. Your favorite winter clothes are doing the moths more good than they're doing you. 4 — You wouldn't have to get sunburned at Aggie football games, and when they yell, "Squeeze, Ags," you wouldn't worry about underarm stains. 5 — Maybe you could finally switch from iced tea and margar- itas to hot chocolate with marshmallows and Irish coffee. 6 — Shoes and socks. Your sandals are probably worn out by now. 7 — Men (and women) can go without shaving everyday. (Warmth, you know.) 8 — It's easier to remember that it's close to Christmas and you can start making a list and being on extra good behavior. 9 — Blankets. Tucking them in around your chin is just such a comfortable feeling. Start with a minimum of two, add more to keep heating costs down. 10 — Getting cozy. Nothing is better for romance than sitting by a fireplace, sharing a blanket or cuddling in the cold. Icelandic passageway to the cen ter oi the earth.
