Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: Here We Go...

Oh, the horror! Target is running "Pumpkin Spice Up Your Space" ads. that must mean that fall is actually here. For those of us who eat a slice or two of pumpkin pie and call it good, this avalanche of pumpkin-flavored STUFF is too scary to relate. 

     It's been in the high 80s and 90s in Colorado all weekend. If you lived here, you wouldn't be surprised, though, at Tuesday's forecast: a high of 38 or so, and lots of snow. 

     Go figure.

The visitors to Sturgis have their first COVID death -- one of the guys from the 15 'positives' from Minnesota. The poor man. A little more than 100 'positives' have now registered...out of the 462,182 attendees to Sturgis' motorcycle festival more than three weeks ago. Isn't that more than enough time for the huge numbers of positives to start showing up?
