points to the Fall

The early morning birds

That began practicing every known car alarm

between 3 and 6 am

are strangely silent.

The surf contests are come and gone

(how was the riot? Who won?)

There is something about the quality of the light these days

mostly in the afternoons

that points to the Fall.

It's still hot

muggy even being in the midst of monsoon season

I think I heard the North Pacific

beginning to awaken

from it's summer time slumber.

Looking forward to a wet El Nino winter
