I suppose a complete hazmat suit for the duration of transit would be impractical

Man, I would be down for that if I could get through airport security.

Quantas offered a flight to nowhere (flying over various Australian landmarks). It sold out in ten minutes.

Also - the Green Party is having a rally outside my office building. Their sound system seems to be turned up to 11 (periodically, I can feel the building vibrating). I have a headache ... may go home early.

I'd suggest you go outside with a "Stop Noise Pollution " sign, but they probably wouldn't appreciate it

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Speaking of autumnal goodies, let me spread the word about apple cider syrup. Get some non-alcoholic apple cider (aka, non-clarified apple juice). Fresh from a farm stand, if you've got 'em. Then dump it all in a big sauce pan or pot and boil it down until it's the consistency of maple syrup. That'll probably mean reducing it by 3/4s. Put it on pancakes, waffles, etc. It is so good! I made it toward the end of apple cider season last year, and I'm looking forward to making it again this fall.

Oooh. That does sound good!

When I was a kid, in the autumn we'd go to a local farm and get icy cold fresh cider and plain donuts fresh out of the fryer. I remember them as being THE BEST.

Our wings are not tired.

I'll have a bit of apple cider this time of year, but not a big fan as it is on the sweet side for me. Now, my dad's hard cider was another matter altogether. Yum.

I'll no doubt buy some pumpkin coffee grounds, but I drink it black, so none of the sweeter pumpkin offerings.
