Happy autumn to those of us in the northern hemisphere, and happy spring to those below the equator (and to those along the equator, of course, happy continued summer). Fall has been in evidence here for a couple of weeks, as the weather cools and sundown comes earlier, so I'll fire up the man stove today and perhaps tomorrow too, as it won't be long before the snows arrive and take a lot of the fun out of that.
