To everything there is a season


Something important to consider in these troubled times - the sarcastic wisdom of my favorite cartoonist, Bill Watterson, speaking through the eyes of six-year-old Calvin:
"Since September it's just gotten colder and colder. There's less daylight now, I've noticed too.
"This can only mean one thing - the sun is going out. In a few more months the Earth will be a dark and lifeless ball of ice.
"Dad says the sun isn't going out. He says it's colder because the earth's orbit is taking us farther from the sun. He says winter will be here soon.
"Isn't it sad how some people's grip on their lives is so precarious that they'll embrace any preposterous delusion rather than face an occasional bleak truth?"
