Banal observation(s) of the day

I think I'm a fan of the new daylight savings time. Fall and winter are depressing enough just for their weather, so not arbitrarily abandoning an hour of light at the end of the day is a welcome change and has so far kept the SAD away.

On a less upbeat note, the leaves are changing from bright green to dead brown this year without much hot color in between. I blame the lack of rain.
