The Gentle Days Of Autumn

 The official beginning of autumn is just days away. The autumnal equinox happens on Wednesday September 22, 2021. An autumnal equinox marks the first day of astronomical AND meteorological fall. In practical terms, the retail first day of fall happens anytime after Labor Day so watch out for the Christmas crap to go on sale. There is Halloween crap on sale at present but if you look closely, the Christmas crap is mixed in with the Halloween crap and America's children are simply confused. "Mommy...should I ask that jack-oh-lantern for a new bike?" Retailers are out of control and that's hardly news to just about anyone. So autumn is here and it's time to break out the sweaters and jackets and get ready for Thanksgiving (turkeys, you are all on notice). Time to enjoy the end of smoke-choked skies and one brutally hot summer. Well, here's hoping that the wildfire smoke is going to blow away. The wildfires won't be extinguished until snow begins to fall. Heavy snow is what's needed to end the wildfires. Whether that will happen is anyone's best guess. Maybe Jim Cantori can inform America. Cantori is one of the 'stars' on the Weather Channel. At least he used to be. I haven't watched the Weather Channel ever since I gave up on the Comcast cable bullshit so I have no idea whether Cantori is still there. It was funny watching Cantori get all whizzed up over snow lightning and thunder. Snow lightning and thunder is old hat way out here in the West. If snow starts to fall and it really doesn't matter if autumn is underway or not, if snow is falling...it's winter. Simple as that. So in celebration of the autumnal equinox...it's time for machine art.
