Quite Early

[rejectomorph]

Again no deer, no raccoons, not even a whiff of skunk. Insects, all night. Even now there is a gnat crawling across my monitor. Still the cicadas trill like munchkin sopranos. They will continue until the light breaks from the east. I will be asleep by then, with any luck. For another hour or so, Orion will keep me company.

It is said that the further one is from the last earthquake, the closer one is apt to be to the next one. California is quite a way from northern Japan. I wonder if my recent desire for natural disaster is about to be fulfilled?

Sluggo's misbehavior over the last couple of days has been quite intense. He may be telling me that he wants his fans cleaned again. He is jealous of the newly vacuumed carpet. Tomorrow, Sluggo, tomorrow. Now is time for sleep.

I think I'm further from Japan than you are. I'm going to hide under the bed.

If there is an earthquake in New Jersey, all the landfills will open up. Chemicals! Mountains of garbage! Pestilence! Jimmy Hoffa's body! It will be the end of the world!

RrRRrrumble.

Fortunately I live south of that part of Jersey (and west of the ugly part of Satan Island).

As I walked out of the hospital yesterday afternoon, and was greeted my a mild breeze instead of a wave of heat, I thought of you. I hope you are sharing in these first hints of autumn.

It barely broke 80 degrees here today. That's a bit of relief, but I want more. At least I'm not in Redding, where it went over 100.
