Summer Done Gone

There's a hymn that say begins "Time is filled with swift transition, naught of Earth unmoved can stand." Summer has swiftly gone, though El Niño is taking charge of the weather patterns. One day we were dancing on H. Street in the warm sunshine and then boom, Autumn said "I'm here! Now get inside!"

The leaves are changing. The days are shorter and the nights are longer. For some it's the beginning of SAD Season, while others are festive. Maybe you'll find balance in the disturbance of your circadian rhythm. However there is a bright side or maybe a ....dark side!

This is that special time of year for horror fans across the land! That's right SPOOKY SEASON! HALLOWEEN TIME! It's the perfect time to hibernate with snacks, wine, cannabis, and some good soul ripping, gut wrenching, horror movies! Spirit Halloween has sprouted in our favorite abandoned store and the imagination runs wild with costume ideas.

While the introverts embrace the indoors and limited social activities, the adventurous extroverts and some introverts might hit up a haunted trail or a haunted house. There may even be parties galore. There is still some joy to be had!

Even though fascism is giving us one hell of a time, Autumn 2026 is one of resistance. There is the essence of midterm elections and pumpkin spice across America. The fight begins for a new day for all US citizens.

Summer Done Gone. Autumn has come. What will Autumn 2026 bring?
