What can I say.. tropical systems in fall? Wind and rain? All that with leaves changing bright shades of yellow and red? I just love this time of year. I could do without the 80 degree days, of course—something very weird for this part of Northeastern Pennsylvania at this time of year. But I see an extended forecast of glory later this week, after the rainy weather today.. beauty will shine. And even if the weather is not ‘beautiful,’ that’s all in the eye of the beholder anyway.
The world?
Maybe that’s not as beautiful as it once was.

ANDERSON COOPER reported a special report for CBS’ 60 MINUTES on the dangers in the sky.. Among the items reported: NASA only found out an asteroid hit Russia in February by looking at Twitter.. There are 100 times more asteroids than what has been located so far.. This is interesting that, yet again, the media is focusing on the calamity that could hit earth if a big object strikes.. There have been way too many ‘close for comfort’ events lately.. and also alarmingly too many news reports telling us about our impending demise if an impending rock slams us..
