You Can’t Stop the Calender
The calender is a remarkable thing. It seems like things will never come to an end, until they come to an end. You climb and climb, and the hill always seems the steepest, until you reach the top, and then you realize your at the top, and rest of the way, you’ll be coasting down hill.
It seemed like it would be forever until summer finally broke, but then it finally did. Then summer seemed endless, for such a precious short time, before succumbing to Labor Day, and then eventually the cooler weather of fall. Before you know, the leaves will fall, and winter will creep on. November will come and go, and Christmas will fade into 2014.
The endless cold season will return until April, then in May spring will break, and by June it will be summer — even in the Adirondacks. And we will just continue to go around once again.
It will, in the words of Phil Ochs just be just part of the race around the stars.
Enjoy the nice warm weather over the next few days, because before you know it, fall will be well underway.
This Is How Fast America Changes Its Mind
Daylight Savings Time Comes to An End
I have to think it’s a good thing that daylight savings time has finally begun. The fact is that getting up at 7:00 AM in pitch darkness is no fun. The sunset at 5:45 PM isn’t much fun either, and the 4:45 PM sunset will mean the commute home is dark, but so be it. It’s part of the grand cycle known as the seasons.
The net result is long evenings, which haren’t a totally bad thing either. I like having a little more darkness when camping, as it gives more time for a campfire, and cooking dinner at night. Sure the day is rushed, but the evening is more relaxed. I guess I could or should go to bed earlier, but that never happens either – even in the cold of the back country this time of year.
Set your clock back, and let’s get our November on. Christmas and the end of the year is around soon..
Hoping to Have New Photos on the Blog This Weekend
At least that’s the goal. I am still working out some technical issues, that I need to get fixed before I upload new content, but once that’s done, I sure have a lot of photos to upload into the coming months (!) I also have some new maps that have not been updated in a while due to the same reason — I am still developing the media plug-in.
Things are always over time and over budget with this new blog. But so be it.
