scottobearFirst day of Autumn! As Lileks put it: The trees have started to tip; the quotient of green diminishes daily. I wonder if we’d love fall less if the colors were ugly; do we like the colors simply because we’re used to them? If everything turned turquoise and pink one year we’d be horrified (well, maybe not BHK) , but if they’d been turning those shades all our lives we’d see nothing wrong. It makes you wonder how much of our fall routines are owed to long-buried instinct. Perhaps we wear brown because there’s an ancient piece of brain-code telling us we should blend in, because there might be tigers about.
To celebrate, we got iced pumpkin coffee drinks and muffins, went to a school supply store to buy cool dice. (Got some for me to game design with, and a few as gift ideas.) Included in the loot were triple dice,(I picked ones with three different colors inside - a red, white, and blue) double dice, foam dice and blank dice (just white cubes you can draw things on), not to mention a few gel pens, index card pads, and other school-supply type goodies.
Went on a tour of a corn-maze, got a pumpkin right out of the patch, petted some goats / sheep / bunnies and pigs, rode a tractor!

Irrigation guns look like doomsday devices to me.

Also went to Aardvarks, and almost bought Apples to Apples (BHK will probably get that with one of our target gift cards this week), Stonehenge and / or Blokus, but instead picked up Carcassone: Discovery and Pre-ordered Zombie Fluxx.
