The Quincunx Has Fallen and It Can't Get Up



For the FIFTH year in a row, Fall has come early to parts of the Northern Hemisphere (in some places, Winter never left), arranged its half-decade neatly into a box and is waiting patiently for someone to wake up and smell the Hyperboreans. Yes, this is Year Five of leaves on Da-da's trees changing early and dropping late May/early June. What does this mean? Well, if you share an open mind with Da-da, you might wonder if half-a-decade's instance of early Fall is significant, juryrigged climate data notwithstanding.

That's it. Just an observation, and lots of questions:
  • Will anyone ever remember the definition of quincunx?
  • Will the sun's slumber continue?
  • Will solar lethargy combine with the 50+ volcanoes going off (adding enough gas and dust to the upper atmosphere) to make Winter 2015 one of the worst in recorded history?
  • Are we on the verge of The Next Ice Age?
  • Will Da-da EVER get World Series tickets?
Da-da knows the answer to at least one of those questions. Koyaanisqatsi, indeed.

Fall Fell Hard and Left No Forwarding Address


Another early fall on the horizon? Leaves started falling off Da-da's trees on June 1st again,
third year in a row. Da-da's suggests everyone buy a reeeeally warm winter coat this year.

Fall Comes Early and Drinks All Day



For the third year in a row, Da-da's trees started changing color on July 1st. Da-da has noticed pre-autumn leaves on both the East and West Coasts of the U.S. Anyone international readers having similar observations? Da-da's pet theory is that, since the sun's output has lessened so dramatically over the past 20 years, deciduous trees are indicating an onset of global cooling -- however, this could be regional. Global climate change will feature both hotter hots and colder colds. We'll have to wait and see.

Macrame Rah Echo E c h o E c h o

Da-da is suddenly finding macrame appealing. And MANLY.
And Da-da's all for hobbling small children so they can't easily get away.
