  • The gray dull days of October

    The gray dull days of October

    There is something visceral about the warmth of September and the brutal chill of October. October‘s weather isn’t yet wintry in nature, but the hints and reminders are there but a darker time is coming.

    We go from those hot days and comfortable nights of September, with the bright sunshine allowing us to bask in that pretend the feeling that it’s still summer.

    But then winter starts to creep in, slowly at first. Leaves change, a few changes occur at the landscape level. Then your body begins to feel those differences, and your immune system struggles to adapt to its newfound life without sun..

    Suddenly the bright ball of light in the sky becomes a memory, deemed by the cloudy dull nature of the skies of late October. Sure, it’s fitting for the time frame were in, the season of the witch and all that hallows on the eve.

    But it still comes as a great and remarkable shock to the soul which worships that son God. And has since the conception of time.

    The signs of the season: The Bloomsburg Fair!

    SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY.. it ended up being the 163rd annual Bloomsburg Fair..

    Where did the time go!?
    I was at the Fair this weekend, and will most likely travel back to it a few times before its ended…’
    While the freakshows are gone (PC!?) and other things have moved or changed, the fair is somehwat mostly the same…
    I drew this image in 1996 of the Bloomsburg Fair when I came home one Friday night… and today, the image could still be the same.
    I was able to snatch this amazing photograph of a stuffed animal on a ride that hovers in the air above fair goers..
    And that, my friends, is what you can find at the fair that confounds the senses and compromises the mind.
    Take part in it. It’s only once a year and will be done quite soon. Enjoy.

    This is the best of times.. the worst of times. Allow me to briefly explain. I love autumn. I have always.. but this year, for some strange reason, I am dreading it. The weather has already cooled off a bit and it’s been rainy.. My throat has that touch of soreness this morning. I also heard my son coughing a bit.. The changing seasons, along with allergic reasons, is making me dread it all a bit…
