Was going to do more memage - but I'm way ahead. So will wait.

One foot in front of the other...(now I have that song from Santa Clause is Coming To Town Christmas Stop-Motion Clay Character toon in my head.)




The other bit I keep getting reminded of - for some reason or other - "The BurgerMeisters" (the villainous rulers of the world in the cartoon) finally died out, but they kept the traditions that they came up with during that period.

The plot of the cartoon is basically a bunch of toy-making elves and their adopted son, Chris Kringle, trying to figure out a way to get past a variety of seemingly impossible obstacles to get their toys to the village below and most importantly to the people and children within it. Analysis of Santa Clause is Coming to Town by Rankin Bass )

There's no rain. There are however, lots of wildfires. Amtrak shut down operations from NYC to New Haven because of fires on the tracks in the Brox and on up. NYC is under a red flag fire watch, so is Long Island, New Jersey keeps putting out fires and there's one that has been burning in New Jersey and New York several days this week. Also fires in Connetitcut. Then I looked it up..and was blown away with the number of wildfires in our country. My niece was involved in preparing people for evacuation at Rocky Mountain National Park during a forest fire over the summer.

ME: America is on Fire and burning. I mean that literally not metaphorically. [Pause]. Actually maybe both.
Breaking Bad: Yes, it's horrible, dry weather.
Me: Climate change.
Breaking Bad looks skeptical.
Me: Warmer currents, Glaciers have melted and dried up, there's no water source, so not a lot of rain, and you also have warmer winters. Although Denver - Colorado got 45 inches of snow.
Breaking Bad: That's high elevation, just in the mountains.
ME: Friends of my mother live between Denver and Colorado Springs, not in the mountains, well not really, more like right before you get into the mountains. (I went to school in Colorado Springs.)
Breaking Bad: Oh...that's...interesting.

Shame it didn't come here. No, we just have one crystal blue day after another. Not a cloud gracing the sky. Not even the big white fluffy ones. I never thought I'd say this? But I'm missing the clouds.

Below, the bright big shinging moon - so bright, I could mistake it for a sun, against a crystal blue sky.
