Fall

Seems perfect and melencholy: everything is suspended, damp, and waiting.

Winter is only a few months away, but everything is still so vivid. The body of the land feels like it's in anticipation for that fist snow fall, for flakes to be devoured by the hungry dirt. In this little town, all the streets have turned from parched gray to a slick, saturated black. It feels like a time for traveling, but also for nesting on the couch with blankets and tea.

Caffine in the Morning.

It's the last legal drug, and it's a stimulant. That's pretty amazing.
On top of that, it's delicious: the brewing and preperation of coffee and espresso has become an art form. There are literally competitions to see who can make the most lovely latte:

On a cold rainy day in early October, this seems like the best idea in the world.
