First Blog

You can pretty much ignore this blog. I have decided to attempt to work on my writing ability for 30 minutes (give or take) a day.  The idea comes from an article on lifehacker.com that stated you should try to learn something or become proficient at something by working at it 30 minutes a day.  I've always wanted to be a better writer, and to get better at something you need to do it, right?

Today is very unseasonably warm outside, like most of the country.  I'm sure there is people thinking that this is due to global warming, and on the same page, people loving global warming.  Random thought, what if this is the beginning of what the end of the Mayan calender really means?  What if the end of the calendar doesn't mean the end of the world, but a change in the seasons for the hemispheres? What I mean by this is the northern hemisphere with now have seasons like the southern and visa versa. 

This would really change the world in very unpredictable ways.  Farmers would have to re-learn the when to plant and when to harvest times.  Animals (which will most likely adapt better then humans) would need to change the migration and hibernation patterns, and might be a large lose of animal life for the first year or two.

This would also create some interesting situations.  Would the school years then change in the United States?  I would think in the modern era it may, since the children are not needed to work on the farm during the summer anymore and need something to occupy their time during the winter.  Maybe having "summer vacation"  during the winter would make more sense, so there is now snow days or issues with bad roads due to ice/snow.

Just a random thought, maybe more to come.
