Orange and gold and red and brown and dirt
The ground is littered
Fragile branches sit empty and silent in the chill yet bright air
Sunshine brings bursts of brilliant red into focus
Small berries sit left behind
Autumn speaks in small ways
and in what is not present, rather than what is
It is not an easy beautiful
Go forth and fill your libraries with media.

Last night it crashed into me in a horribly surreal and yet emphatic and fatal way how much I wish I had kept at least my CPR training up to date, let alone the awesome combat lifesaver skills I had in the Army Reserves.
Maybe you've noticed that the U.S. is kind of FLU CRAZY right about now? Maybe paranoid would be a better word. I work in a school, an elementary school, which is pretty near to ground zero for the paranoid flu circus. And I became sick this week.

I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.
I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.
Cheers,
Who are you dying to see in concert?
I want to see Seether or Chevelle. I'm dying to see no-one though!
Bad news. As many of you have probably noticed, the Amazon Conduit was not fixed in the last week's release. Unfortunately, there was an undetected bug that is preventing the conduit from working.
We are working on this bug fix and hope to have the Conduit back up and running this week.
I will keep you posted.
Thank you for being so patient.
