I can remember when the trip back home to my folks took an extra couple of hours if I got stuck in all the traffic.

		<description><![CDATA[Who Can See the Wind?
(by Christina Georgina Rossetti)
Who can see the wind? Neither you nor I
But when the leaves are trembling
The wind is passing by!
Who can see the wind? Neither I nor you
But when the trees are bending low
The wind is passing through!
As this children&#8217;s poem points out, the wind&#8217;s affect on the surrounding environment [...]]]></description>

As is true with everything in life, &#8220;there is no such thing as a free lunch&#8221;. Communities across the country are learning from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the years as an acoustical consultant I&#8217;ve seen a lot of architectural firms locate rooftop air handling units over or near acoustically sensitive spaces; then they put up resistance to doing the necessary extensive noise controls that are needed for such a situation. The protest usually includes &#8220;but we&#8217;ve never had to do that [...]]]></description>

We had seasons in SoCal, but it took several years before I easily recognized the subtle differences between summer and fall or between winter and spring.
