Whenever we lose respect for nature, she gives us a show of her power: a hail storm, a tsunami, an earthquake...
The squirrels out in the trees look at me through my window, me illuminated with artificial light, warmed by an electic heater, and just shake their heads. "What fools these mortals be," they say in their squirrel talk.
Then, of course, they go back to trying to figure where the nuts are they buried ;-).
