Excerpt from Almanac for Thirty-Niners: Compiled by the Workers of the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration in the City of San FranciscoWE san franciscans have to be reminded about the seasons. Blown upon by ocean mists, we wear our tweeds the year round cultivate gardens in January and pull up our chairs to grate fires in July. We do have our seasons, often compressing spring, summer, autumn, and winter into a single day, but we sometimes forget that other sections of the country pace through a cycle of 12 very different months.Hence, anyone who wishes to keep a personal eye on the seasons must exercise a sort of hunter's alertness watch for the most fugi tive signs. This is strenuous business, and there is a much easier way to keep informed consult an almanac. Here we can read that winter, of all seasons, Opened on this clear warm day, or that spring began on this chill one.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
