and , to be honestand thats what im trying to be herei must say that i didnt notice it either , not the actual leaving , until i was neutered , for at the end of a long ( and believe me , the season is looong , i dont care what the calendar says , thirty-one days , it claims , it might as well be thirty-one years ) storm there is very little attention left to spare ; most , if not all , of it already spent , and some of it just now beginning to stir and think about resurrecting .
