[URBAN NOTE] Noon's Light

[rfmcdonald]

If not for the cold, when I walked down a street in my neighbourhood en route to the streetcar I could have thought that it was spring since the grass was still green, the sunlight was bright, and leaves were still on some of the bushes. The cold bit my skin regardless of appearances, but I wondered if I'd somehow wound up on an Earth alternative biochemistry based on a liquid with a lower freezing point than water like ammonia.
