Agriculture is a very recent development in Australia, an ancient land with a continuous indigenous human civilisation over the past 60,000 years. Yet, this brief period of agriculture has significantly impacted Australia’s ecosystems and the land and water resources that agriculture relies on. The extent and significance of this impact are little understood.

This article is actually in dedication to my Husband, who is bound and determined to forever see my Article; "Why is Wombat poop Square?" as my number one read article. He loves the strangeness in it and he loves how random it is compared to my typical Fantasy/Poem writings. So this article, hopefully, serves as sufficient competition to my previous.

Emotional hiking experience.
From my hike on Sunday Nov 7 at Wright county trail. The birds are chirping as I crept along slowly. Stalking my imaginary prey this fine fall morning. The air has a bit of a bite and the clouds are dripping now. The smell of the forest lingers in my nostrils as I joyously walk and am amazed.

The Climate in Seattle is Changing
By Brian Abbey My name is Brian Abbey, and I was born and raised in Seattle. Well, Burien, actually, and I spent a lot of time in Leavenworth. But I’ve lived in and around Seattle my whole life, where it rains, on average, 155.3 days per year and where we have 152 days of sunshine per year. You can learn a lot through statistics and averages. The average annual high temperature is 59º and the low is 45º and we have 2,019 average hours of sunshine per year. You can learn other things too, like that it doesn’t get real hot for real long, and eventually it always, and I mean always rains. But there are some things that statistics can’t tell you in any meaningful way. Like the fact that this year it got real hot, hotter than I can ever remember. And it was dryer than I can remember it ever being. And as these extreme weather events keep playing out, people start conflating a heat wave with climate change. Now, I’m not an atmospheric scientist, but I do have a degree in environmental studies, and I’ve studied these things enough to know that, well, it’s time we have the talk. See, I think most people out there don’t quite understand what the climate is, why it’s changing, or really why it should even matter to them. And while I’ve never been good with analogies, I think that under the circumstances we need a better way to convey the urgency with which we have to ask about climate change. What it comes down to is this: we have to make changes, or the earth will make them for us. For all the Brian Abbey’s and Joe Smith’s of the world.

Beginning of Week 3
Well a lot has been going on. From time to time, I like to take a run to the outside of town and enjoy the peace and quiet. Lately, that has not been very helpful. My mind is racing and my heart is far from the place of peace I use to find out there. The breeze and the horses and the grass; none of it feels the same. I know that in reality, things will never be the same, but that is all I long for. I want her back and I want these last two weeks to not have happened at all.
