Wario Wario Wario
As an American, I measure long spans of years (that are still shorter than, like, a decade or two decades) in presidential terms (I.E. "that hasn't happened since Obama's first term"). Not really a patriotic thing, just a weird tick I have when referring to this.
Yeah, I just used seasons as a measurement of time. Works better than "about 4 to 7 months"
