I'd Make a Pun on the Word "Fall" Here, But It Wouldn't Be Very Clever or Original, So I've Decided Not To.

I like October. The rainy season is trickling to a close, the New Mexican climate finally provides us with a few short, beautiful weeks of blissfully livable weather between the pounding heat of summer and the pipe-freezing cold of winter, and there's an oddly exciting little nip in the air that makes me want to go and cheerfully gather up nuts or something.

It's a pity it doesn't last.
