The last few weeks have been absolutely lovely in terms of our weather. Bright, warm days... chilly in morning and night, sure, but warm during the day. Some fog, but really, it's been a lovely month.
It's just hard to fully enjoy it when you hear of unusual weather in other places too. Early snow here, wicked storms there. And yes, we're bathing in our warm sunlight, but... is it normal?
Sure, it "feels like Fall" but... it also feels like "September Fall" rather than the end of October...
I'm not sure people are really aware of how odd our weather is behaving. And I'm not sure when it gets bad enough that everyone REALLY notices if there will be much left to be done.
I don't want to be fatalistic, I'm just.... this is scary... and that's from someone who loves weather... but tries to not think too too much about the change we've made happen to our world. For my own sanity.
So while I'm loving this sunshine, oh so much... I'm also nervous of it. And everything else people are noticing around the world.
Whoops. Double Whoops!
I have an (older) Apple laptop, and some of you who do as well, may know the frustration of the charger cords. They are absolutely the weak point of these devices and constantly fray and break. Especially, it seems, for me, probably due to the angle of my cord compared to where it has to plug in and where I spend most of my time. So because this part breaks so much, I get tired of paying the $100 for the replacement I know isn't going to live all that long. Last time I got a replacement I tried to fortify the break point, but it still went. And then I ordered a slightly cheaper one off of Amazon. It didn't come from apple, but arrived with all apple branding, so... I figured it was real enough. *shrug* It frayed as well, and this time the protective coating was only slightly split so I left it for a while, intending to get some electrical tape to seal it up for a while. Which is why I was not so happy to hear and see it spark when I went to plug it in...
