The Year Is At It's Best

The grass is turning yellow The green is going away, but that's all right, I always knew it wasn't here to stay. The leaves remain upon the trees but not the green of spring They're waiting for the autumn frost to make their colors King. The air is getting cooler the sky the bluest glow The maple...

Now Don't Get Excited, Now Don't Get Pale

"FEMA and FCC are planning a massive test of their EAS and WEA at approximately 2:20 p.m. ET on 10/4/23." Don't you love the way they talk.
