My Brother sent me an e-mail reminding me that winter is coming....as if the leaves changing color and dropping off wasn't a clue. It was accompanied with a video of people slipping on icy sidewalks and landing on their butts. [I've done that a few times over the years] and vehicles sliding down hilly streets [done that a time or two as well]. Last year at this time we had a sudden drop of temperature down to -30 °C, which lasted only one day, that caught a few trees that hadn't turned color yet and they died.
Winter....blah!
I'm surprised its taken you this long to regard the world and its inhabitants as somewhat lacking Dave...
I'm trying not to be too blunt here if you follow my drift.
Oldest son in college. Has been in and out of the emergency room after a week of "illness". Back in ER and diagnosed with appendicitis. Surgery next apparently. DAMN!!!
