The dust was up yesterday, the air was dry, and today there is a chill in the air. Maybe climate change will turn the southern tier of states into barren desert. That would be an appropriate fate for a moral, cultural, and intellectual wasteland. Wouldn't it? Not MY problem, in any case. There's a lot to be said for living in one's twilight years. Especially when the future looks so amazingly bleak. It's good, then, to not have much future to worry about. The past! Look to the past!
How green were my valleys then! Hey, the sunflowers are coming up again!
