What's in the box? Final episode!

Hurricane Joaquin is finally wearing itself out and the rains are subsiding. Dare I hope this will be the last mystery box video? It would be ever so nice to frolic outdoors again without waving at Noah as he floats by. That guy never has room for hitchhikers.

2016 Winter Forecast

Looks like snow in north Georgia. For generations, people have used the persimmon seed to prognosticate winter weather. By splitting the seed, the white embryo is exposed. If shaped like a knife, expect heavy wind. A spoon indicates snow (think snow shovel). Forks mean kind weather all season. My theory is that year-long weather effects growth rate. If the fruit is relatively immature by fall, you get the knife, farther along, the spoon and most mature, the fork. As weather comes in cycles, this has proven a fair predictor of where we are on nature's seasonal timetable.
