If you're hibernating tonight, you likely missed the Geminids meteor shower. It's a dandy. You get a second chance tomorrow night if you can stay awake. Best before the moon rises.
"How intent—and beholden—we are to stubbornly conquer season, weather, relationships, place—to keep everything moving. Always power over, never with."
I was thinking very much along these lines just a couple days ago, when we got a blast of a few inches of snow, just warm and wet enough along with it to make things very slippery. But people still want appointments to happen the same as they do in July, and drive that way too ... and pay the price. It's ridiculous.
