While the NJ garden is inactive, this week we go back to VT for Columbus Weekend and hope to catch some leaves. Actually, for the last few years, this point in the fall is too soon for peak color. The summer season in VT has become longer. This is probably another sign of climate change in action.
Speaking of climate change, there is a story in Geotimes about an Arctic expedition to collect ocean bottom cores. Analysis of the material reveals two periods in the early Cenozoic when Arctic Ocean temperatures were tropical—imagine what the tropics were like then. Here’s the link:

Another quick WWW visit, see a comet blasted by a solar flare:

We had a great dinner Saturday night with Bill, Dave, Gail, Leesa, Lynn, Rob and Roger to celebrate a new house. There’s nothing like the warmth of old friends. Sorry I didn’t think to take a picture.
