Posted on September 30, 2020 by Nathan

Foresight Is 2020

Posted on January 5, 2020 by Nathan

2020 always just sounded so far in the future when I was a kid. Really, even 2000 still had a bit of awe-inspiring mysticism about it, but I remember most of my childhood interest in a science fiction sort of … Continue reading →

Season Cycle Moving Round and Round

Posted on March 21, 2014 by Nathan

Yesterday was the vernal equinox, and hence the official start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, at least according to a lot of calendars. Mind you, since temperatures have been fluctuating wildly in these parts as of late, it’s hard … Continue reading →
