Even though winter is three weeks distant, a chill has descended upon my location on the globe.
Mother Nature conditioned the air to 33 degrees by the time she brought the sun up this morning, along with a wind causing that 33 degrees to feel like 30.
In other words, freezing cold.
Leaves on trees surrounding my abode responded by dropping in mass to the ground.
I responded to the freezing temperature by attiring myself in winter outerwear and then venturing north into my Caribbean themed neighborhood, eventually exiting Haiti to the Circle Trail where I eventually sat on the bench you see above and pondered various subjects needing pondering.
After I was done with the bench empowered pondering I continued south, eventually returning to my artificially warmed abode where I left ginger tea brewing in the coffee pot.
One month til the arrival of 2017, a year which portends to be a nightmare for America and the world. Ginger tea makes me feel better about the impending calamity, for awhile......
You might be too young to remember, but I thought much the same about 1981. That didn't turn out all that horribly.
