At least for the last Saturday in “Rocktober” it’s not rainy like it was last night. Cold, but not rainy! There’s always more to do and see on Saturday than Friday, and there are always more people out - because some of us are so tired after working all week we fall asleep on the couch on Friday! Good thing I rested up because there’s plenty of things to do tonight!

Wow, it’s surely gotten a bit colder this week - we even had to break down and finally turn on the heat here at the offices! I heard on the news something about an inch of snow, but I just can’t believe that would happen this early.
