this feels good.

i've got something done, almost.

but, i won't be able to plow through with november, which will allow me to publish several liner notes, just yet.

it does look like the summer is finally over, though, so i'll be going out a lot less and getting a lot more done this month, starting mid-week.

i told you the crash was coming. this is actually about two weeks earlier than last year, but not quite as intense.

what happened last year is that it just stayed stuck around 10 degrees for three months, so that, by the time we got to december, it was actually unusually warm. i'm holding out hope for an early spring, so let's hope the winter doesn't get too harsh.

but, this is where my predictions for the year end - i'm calling for uncertainty this winter. it could be brutal, that's what the models are calling for. but, if the error that the models were making was too little solar input, it's going to start flipping the other way, now, and it might not be.

i have low confidence; we're on the cusp.

the liberals are supposed to do better than this.
