Parents discourage the canvasing at random.
Down town it is an adult event. Uptown the neopagans have it.

We have not yet had a real frost but the air is full of yellow leaves. The dogwoods are down and bare of berries. The hollies are loaded with red berries. The birds will thin them soon.

Burning leaves is unlawful.

I will find you a picture.

The attempt to externalize costs looks to be at the root of most of our nations problems.

I am a civilian US citizen. I have attempted to live elsewhere. I cannot and do not wish to try. I am sovereign in my own right. Politics is how we decide how we shall live. I pay attention to politics. In so far as I am able I participate.
