Even though our fall looks a lot like our summer here in Tucson - minus most of the thunderstorms and humidity - I'm enjoying the changes in the weather so far, and looking forward to cool mornings on the patio.
And dead mosquitoes.
But wait! Here's our sponsor!

I am apparently one of those people who wears a perpetual "FREE BUFFET" sign written in mosquito. My arms and legs are covered with bites at various stages. The six or seven fresh ones are from this morning, when my hands were occupied with cutting and dyeing my hair. I live in a state of perpetual itch.
So, we don't have dead and dying leaves to look forward to ...
We are looking forward to dead bugs. ::sigh:: Such a romantic life.
And here are the comments!
From Ed Tracey
In the diary by Verballpaintball about the overturning of the murder
conviction of Amanda Knox and her Italian boyfriend - Loquatrix wrote about the misconduct by law enforcement and the prosecution ... yet in agreement, twigg wryly replied, "Let's not hold America's courts up as an example, huh?"
Sticks head in Gmail box. Empty. Oh, well. Guess there weren't that many worthy comments today!
My picks:
What people don't know about banks, from winterpark. H/t weathercoins for highlighting this in his/her diary on dumping BofA.
In the same diary, kurious reposts some great research resources on banks. Look yours up today!
Deep Harm speaks of the irony and hypocrisy of Post Office closures.
Okay, Kaneblues, thanks to you I have to clean off my monitor.
Ellinorianne asks for focus in the occupation of Wall Street. Perhaps we can make them understand if we use small words?
