Autumn leaves scattered like confetti Every resident giving a few, Mix of the forest, concentrated On undulating water, reflecting Calm waterfall whispers gently, This forest pool alive as the forest beds down for winter

Panel 1

Setting - An overpass at sunset.

Gustopher at an overpass watching the traffic go by underneath. The setting sun has brought out the shadows around him.

Gustopher (thinking): There's a lot of cars down there.

Panel 2

Down below are several cars going by. Gustopher contemplates the amount of people around him. Light shines through the windows of the surrounding buildings.

Gustopher (thinking): Lots of people I don't know. All with their own lives.

Panel 3

Gustopher rests his arms on the overpass guardrail. The light behind him is starting to fade away as the stars are coming out.

Gustopher (thinking): We're all in one spot for a moment. Then we're not.

Panel 4

The sun has set the and the sky is filled with stars. Gustopher has left the overpass and it is now empty.

Seven active and retired firefighters told Reuters they were also concerned firefighters were taking unusual risks because of an all-out approach to stopping fires mandated by the Trump administration. They ​also questioned the impact of U.S. Forest Service staffing cuts as part of broader federal downsizing.

Thing is if you *actually* care about water scarcity you should be criticising wasteful water use where the leverage is highest (agriculture). If you aren't saying anything about the massive lever and are harping on about a relatively small one don't be surprised if people doubt you actually care.

Summer Activities - Gator Days

Gustopher - Alligator - An easily excitable boy who loves making friends. August's son.

Hannah, Olivia, Liam - Goat, Opossum, Capybara - Gustopher's friends.

Transcript

Panel 1

It's getting closer to the end of summer and Gustopher is doing his best to get in as much summer fun as he can.

Narration: Things to do before summer ends. Visit the beach.

Gustopher is running along the beach and waving his arms in the air. 7/10 beach activity.

Panel 2

Narration: Play video games with friends.

Now in Gustopher's entertainment room, Gustopher, Hannah, Olivia, and Liam are all playing video games. Hannah seems to have done something particularly shocking as Gustopher seems to be yelling. Hannah smiles mischievously. Liam is unbothered and focus on the game. Olivia appears to have no idea what's going on.

Panel 3

Narration: Don't think about school. Don't think about school. DON'T THINK ABOUT SCHOOL!

Gustopher is staring deep into the distance. He is failing to squash down his dread of school. Every summer seems to get shorter and shorter. Will there ever be enough time? IS THIS LIFE?

Panel 4

Narration: Eat s'mores.

Gustopher is eating s'mores by a camp fire in the forest. Life is good.

Transcript

Panel 1

Gustopher is on the sidewalk in his neighborhood and thinking about the future. As he walks by the fenced in houses, he contemplates the type of person that he might grow up to be.

Gustopher (Narrating): I wonder what type of person I'll become.

Panel 2

A possible future version of Gustopher is shown walking through a park with the city in the background. He has his hands in his coat pockets and briskly walking towards his destination. The sky is growing yellow has the sun begins to set.

Gustopher (Narrating): Rich? Cool? Happy? Famous?

Panel 3

Another possible future version of Gustopher is shown. This one is much older and has put a few pounds. He's walking a black dog with green eyes that looks similar to one of the present day Gustopher's cats. A tree and a house are silhouettes against the setting sun that's making the sky a brilliant orange that's fading into a dark blue.

Gustopher (Narrating): Will I have lots of friends?

Panel 4

A present day younger Gustopher is looking up at the night sky. It's filled with stars and nearby trees are only shadows in the darkness. The world seems so vast at the moment.

Gustopher (Narrating): Will I remember being me?
