I rediscovered the casual, friendly, and easy-going manner of the majority of people at home and even the plastic L.A. sensations. And it was no wonder that they were healthy, relaxed human-beings--they didn't have to spend six months of the year cramped indoors because of the slushy snow and dismal rain outside...

Some observers have tried to connect the eleven-year sunspot cycle with climate patterns, but have so far been unable to provide a satisfactory explanation of how the cycle might be involved...
