they had us on the alert for northern lights down here but i saw none, sad to say.

this morning was brisk (27 °F) and clear with high clouds moving in. last night the gingko on brooks street dropped its leaves; it looked like a giant yellow paintball had splattered onto the sidewalk, the extension and the street. the group of osage orange trees on state (just south of the tracks, by the golf course) had released a fusillade of fruits overnight as well, and i almost wiped out maneuvering around and through them. autumn! i love it...
