Why don't the seasons change with axial precession?

The seasons depend on which angle the sun ray hit the Earth. Based on the wobble, they would hit the earth in slightly different times on our orbit around the Sun. Nothing significant, but in 2000 years, spring would come almost one month later for example. But it doesn't seem that is so. Can someone explain why?

Question about black hole's time dilation.

So if a black hole dilates time when you're close to it, wouldn't it be able to "dilate" itself out of existance if it were big enough and you were close enough to it and immortal. While I'm not particularly good at math, assuming the time dilation would be several trillions of years per day (somehow), would it mean that the black hole would cease to exist because of the Hawking radiation slowly draining it of mass over those trillions of years? Or does the time dilation only affect what surrounds the black hole and not the hole itself?
