There has been almost no change in Arctic sea ice over the past two days. Green shows gain, red show loss.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Somehow, that just doesn’t inspire any confidence…
There’s nothing like the dog days of Summer 😉
Our leaves are a day or two away from full colors!
You still have leaves?
Willows have already turned and more than half the leaves gone, Cottonwood is losing leaves but they don’t turn much before the brown and fall. Silver Maple still green and only losing a few leaves. Chinese elms still green and not losing leaves. Oak still green and not losing leaves.
The trees and I are shaken by the same wind but whereas
The trees will lose their withered leaves,
I just can’t seem to let them loose.
And they can’t refresh me those hot winds of the south.
Oh I feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place.
The long sobs/Of the violins/Of Autumn
Wound my heart/With a monotonous/Languor.
All choked/And pale, when/The hour chimes
I remember/Days of old/And I cry
And I’m going/On an ill wind/That carries me
Here and there/As if a/Dead leaf.
Paul Verlaine
