The cicadas have fallen silent

Maybe it's true that days shorten and lengthen faster the farther you get away from the winter and summer solstices. Time was the stats read 'tomorrow will be 1 min 10 seconds shorter than today.' Now it's '2 minutes 53 seconds.' So yeah, if it gets darker twenty minutes earlier than a week ago, you're gonna notice it. Thus the suddenly earlier evenings of late August that everyone remarks on.

Full Fathom Five reads much clearer for having read Four Roads Cross. I can actually follow the skullduggery and scheming this time.

Be content with what you have? So I suppose I'm contented with the mid-20s and mid-teens of this unrainy weekend. Shall not think about the mid-30s to come. Do not quote me next January, but I'm almost longing for the cold bitter winter the Farmer's Almanac is forecasting.

Yes, the weather forecast here says that it'll be turning warm and humid again next week. Not looking forward to it.

This is the shape of the future and I could do without it.
