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. Atone the wav,
the adventurers meet an assort
ment of menacing creatures and
characters. With Pat Boone and
James Mason. Unrated. Thurs
