Trick or Trick

Snow before Halloween (just a few inches, but a foot or two and 5 day power failures just a little north); don't like the looks of that, but contrary to public sentiment, we'll probably have a mild winter, which will make my oil bill slightly less painful but hurt all those winter-recreation businesses.  Funny how many people's lives are weather-dependent. Must be awful to be at the vagaries of climate, but then that's the way it's been for most of history.  Many great civilizations have been wiped out because of weather.  Though now ours may be destroyed by man-made causes, as it nearly was with disco.
