Calling All Wombats!

Just to get your attention. I know nothing about the Wombat, apologies to any Wombats looking to hook up - it's not going to happen. Anyway, it's FALL and the time is right for falling in the gutter (if you're a leaf). In all honesty, I've been a bit lazy. However, summer ended and I feel like a different Wombat. I did manage to build a brick patio with built-in tiled fire-pit; plant a bunch of roses; acquire rather too many records, and sample the newfound riches of good beer in a can.
I did make some progress with the guitar. I finally realized that great music is all pretty basic - you just have to play it right! When you grow up pre-internet like I did, thinking there was some magic key known only to guitar Gods, it's a revelation to realize that it's just three chords with a little something... kinda like soup. SALT! PEPPER! WHO KNEW? Everything is simple as one-two-three, even four-five and six! This was news to me, and quite welcome.
Well, on other notes - life is entering yet another winter. I finally found the elusive Furnace Filter (highly recommended to know about) and am very much enjoying sleeping with the window down and the covers up.
I was wondering the other day if anyone noticed we are at the end of an ice age. It's not that hard to visualize once you realize the North and South poles are not generally frozen throughout the roughly four-billion year weather report of our planet. Sure, they have been that way as long as we can remember (big whoop) but are really just the end stages of the most recent ice age. We humans race along like careening fruit-flies, while the Earth is going the speed limit . We move much too fast to see any of these changes, nonetheless change continues apace. Bugs know about it, probably Wombats too. Stay warm, and enjoy the rapidity that is life. Or, if you're not into the whole optimism thing, get your kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.
