September is here.
In Nova Scotia the early blooming plants have already started to turn. Looking out the window I see flecks of red among the paling green of the trees. Nights require a hoodie. Insects have started to enter the house seeking warmth. The local pheasants and deer are almost as large as their parents.
My nose is gummy and I wake up in the morning with more phlegm in my throat than the floor at a punk concert.
While I may be forced to rejoin the workforce in 2025, it also looks like my year long struggle with the deteriorating healthcare system is seeing some forward momentum. It makes sense. Fall and winter. Time for the old life to die off and make way for the new. Old nose replaced with a new one. Old spine..
Well, you can't win them all.
Or can you? I bought new RAM for my Linux computer yesterday. My Intel NUC is aging fast as far as computer hardware goes and putting Linux on it has helped a lot. Hopefully putting more juice under the hood will give it a good number of years left.
What Just Passed: Summer festival in Miyakonojo, Japan in 2011. Canon 550D. I see this and I still feel the humidity and hear the cicadas.
What's to Come: Winter's ice on Fletcher's Lake, Canada, 2014. Pentax MX. I see this and I think I'll need to go buy a new toque soon.
