Love it when it snows


Nothing quiets things down like a nice blanket of snow. The roof is muffled, and the forest too. But I think there may be even more going on. Doesn't snow often here, but every time it sure does seem like the power is cleaner. For sure the listening is better.

No one is saying there aren’t cycles in the weather. The tree rings speak the truth. Those rings in the trees as well as ones that are measurable in all manner of things, shows cycles upon cycles that range within norms with the seldom occurring outliers.

It’s all a delicate balance that’s achieved thru a variety of constants and relying on those constants, with the occasional asteroid or something earth shattering happening.

Then along comes a species that sees itself as above all that is which is nature and akin to the gods they imagine. This species has the ability to rationalize their aberrant behavior via all manner of devices, from religion (hastening the end times they crave) to economics (oh, the profits we can make in the short term as some other job creator will come along and fix everything).

Those cycles that the trees hold depict a balance so delicate because the cycles work in the confines of our atmosphere and oceans, which are finite, and therefore, subject to analysis. Pick any amount of toxin or pollutant, inject it into said model, and you can predictively model the results. Repeatedly. Accurately.

The cause is not in dispute and no amount of saying it is, is going to change any rational mind. Conflating it with "government intrusion" is just plain silly, I’m sorry to say. That is like saying I can park my diesel truck with it’s exhaust pointed at your open front door and idling it, all the while claiming "my freedom to do what I want without government regulations." Then, I’ll dump my toxic runoff into your drinking water and shout, "Take me to court and prove your harm."

The skies and oceans are not open sewers and when used as one, tend to back up on us.

All the best,

Things outside do tend to be quieter when it snows. Does that make a hifi sound better? Well it might produce a lower noise floor in the room in some cases and that might help. Also snow days tend to be a vacation from normal life and that also could work towards one’s listening favor emotionally . Put those two together and you might have something.
