Once again, we’ve reached that magical time of the year. Summer is beginning to relax the death grip she’s held on us so we might prepare for an icier one. Sure, the temperatures won’t fall just yet, but the pumpkin spice and warm fall colors and the return of treacherous fiends reminds us that fall is upon us.
Many discuss the changing of the leaves and the cornucopias, yet miss the other tradition that goes along with this change from summer to fall. That’s right, it’s getting to be murder season. Soon movies and made-for-TV movies and television will be replete, well more replete than normal, with thrillers designed to set us on edge. We haven’t yet started planning for Christmas. Give it time, for soon we will.

Plus being against the tree is a better defensive position from a strategic standpoint.
Laying down on a park bench because you're too tired to sit up is a gateway drug to homelessness, I think as I prop myself up on a tree.

On the other hand, you probably wouldn’t experience this if you were sleeping on a park bench.

Now get out there and enjoy all that life has to offer, from Uggs to infinity scarves to the knives hidden beneath. For as long as you can hear requests for the aforementioned pumpkin spice and trips to go look at foliage, you have nothing to worry about. Remember, though, things always get oh so quiet before they get incredibly loud, vengeful, and sharp. Beware the silence.
If a man is silent, you can bet he's enjoying his peace and quiet. If a woman is silent, lol good luck.
