"October"

As I mentioned earlier I'm now far closer to 100 than to 20. You hang around that long you tend to see things differently. How I love the changes of season. The whole world shifts to a new mode of reality. Bud to bloom to seed to winter sleep. I guess this is why I can't live in a place with only one season...no matter how pleasant it might be.

I need to see the world evolve before my eyes. 

Also now that I think about it. The present living generations are blessed, and a bit cursed to see an actual "Planetary Climate Change" in their lifetimes,...amazing. That, and a transformation as great as the start of the industrial age. The information digital age.

As for the climate. If it had gone to 82f degrees in February when I was a little boy it would have gone into the history books. Now,...well. 

We'll adjust as we adjusted to everything else. That, and whatever comes after. Unlike for predatory industrialist say. Nature does 'not' reward the strongest. Rather the most adaptable.

Later era's will see the mid-20th through the mid-21st centuries as an Ages of mixed-Miracles. An age of Changes.

Finally seeing that human beings had worth, and all life should be respected. 

The terrifying side is our slow, but certain alteration of a whole planet's Climate.

That Nano stuff ain't too cute either.

Still taking the very long view I'm Hopeful. 

Exasperated outraged, and generally terrified, but hope as well.

Hope for this planet, and for the demented bi-peds that insist on stumbling all over it.

(Full disclosure the colors in NYC ain't as nice as the picture. That Climate Change has held back, and shortened the color season,...progress.)

Bad, but it beats 102f degrees, and Humid.
