Seasons
In which Rat learns of the new nomenclature
Good time of day, humans!
Transcript:
Human: — It’s getting colder, weather watchers say fall will be here any day now.
Rat: — Wait, did we have summer this year? I must have missed it.
Human: — They now recognize only four seasons: fall, winter, spring and climate change.
This side of the pond, it’s becoming ridiculous. This year, we had at least twice as many «extreme heat warnings» as actual days above 30 °C (86 °F, for what it’s worth).
Here in Tejas, we have two weeks of winter, two weeks of spring, months of summer, even more months of hell, couple of weeks of fall, and back into the cycle. Nothing but fun
Locally, we have a season called Moral Panic. The other three are pre-winter, winter, post-winter. Moral Panic features some road repair and quite a bit of arson. The arson reached the point where the media and politicians finally acknowledged it's real.
