Move the autumn dust and give the reader more of the 
numbers, or keep the dust there but add more to it
to balance the equations.

The books are good.  The hand is good too but not from
a literary standpoint-- more details about the tv show?

I'm giving you literary criticism- and from my Blenderish 
standpoint I like this a lot.  From a personal standpoint I
like it a lot as well.  The idea of finding something 
steady and, well, normal in the sense of being viable and
stable is important to me, of building something that 
doesn't crik-crack like ice in warm water when stress
levels rise...
