    Nice. We’re well into stick season in northern New England.

        After the leaves fall off the trees, before they’re covered in snow.

        NJ here, and yup, it’s been mostly 70’s and a few 80’s for the past 2 weeks. It would be great minus the no rain in over a month part. I am currently surrounded by 2 brush fires, each about 5 miles away in opposite directions. This is the second year in a row where fires have been this close. Prior to last year, I had never seen this before for the area.

          The lack of rain gets brutal. Around 9 years ago California didn’t get any rain for two full years, and man, it was gross there. I visited and as we were landing it looked like we were diving into a bowl of beef broth. Everything smelled like dirt, car pollution, and forest fires.

    For all its faults, the American South is still a stunningly beautiful place. I’ve stood on streets exactly like this one in Alabama and felt like I was in a postcard.

    I recently had the opportunity to drive from Tennessee to Alabama. I’d never been to this region before. I was amazed at how lush everything was!
