I for one can't wait for fall to come. Its my favorite season by far... the smells especially, but also the cool weather. I'm happiest in long pants and a jacket. There's a Japanese haiku about fall that i particularly like, by Onitsura

"How cool the breeze:
the empty sky is filled with
the sounds of pine and cedar"

or for those bilingual chaps out there:

suza kaza ya
koku ni michite
matsu no koe


thats enough zen for one night


Have you hugged your camp knife today?
