Love it when it snows

When my hifi gear is outside and gets snowed on it absolutely runs far more quietly as it completely shorts out and stops working. So don’t do that. Therefore I’m in a rare state of agreement with Millercarbon (footprint).

Note that on the "upper right coast" where I live, general coldness requires double pane windows or storm windows or you’re crazy or live in a tent. Consequently, at least indoors, it’s ALWAYS way quieter (in winter) than living with open windows like I did in Hawaii where I sort of grew up. Also worth noting, I’ve been in NYC during a snowfall...it’s amazing the degree to which it hushes the drone of the city at least temporarily.

Rachel Carson was 100% correct and we owe her a debt of gratitude for Silent Spring...from the New Yorker: “Silent Spring,” a landlubber, is no slouch of a book: it launched the environmental movement; provoked the passage of the Clean Air Act (1963), the Wilderness Act (1964), the National Environmental Policy Act (1969), the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act (both 1972); and led to the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency, in 1970." Also, if you don't think overpopulation is an issue you might need to get out more.

Los Angeles has been expanding into arid land for decades, leading to a water crises that's really hitting its stride and 3 hour commuting being the norm. I also lived in L.A. as a kid and the smog was insane, but the improvement in L.A. air quality has been an astonishing triumph of science and regulation which forced emission standards on reluctant car companies...amazing. The indigenous Chumash "Angelenos" called the L.A. basin "the valley of smoke" so the ability to trap pollution goes way back.

On exactly what records has Bob Dylan said that?
