I love this time of year.
When the air turns crisp and cool, and the leaves come crashing down in a cacophony of colors, then I know it's smooth sailing from this point on.
Seriously, summer's a pain in Ohio, with the boiling hot weather, the humidity that would choke a dog, and the bugs. Even worse when the winter's as light as the last one was. Pollen everywhere, allergies super-high, and bugs, so many bugs.
No matter. Despite the fact that the weather's fighting like mad to stay hot, it'll succumb to the cold rains and creeping mists of October. The dry air will choke the humidity away, and soon enough it'll be time for my favorite holiday.
A small price to pay, for pumpkin spice creeping its way into the collective consciousness, no?
Anyway, I'm thirty thousand words into Dire:Hell. This one's shaping up to be epic, folks! Gonna try to have it out in time for Christmas, but no promises. Much to do, so off I go to do it!
