Well, Thanksgiving is approaching but giving thanks daily now for the string of sunshine and double-digit days rising and falling, with so much in the way of heavenly sunrise, sunsets. With a high of 16 C Sunday (forecasters are even eyeballing 13 C for next weekend) talk of snow tires now might get you uninvited from the table. The rest of us are sucking the marrow of summer out of early fall, thanks. Talk of bike tires, iceless trails, frostless outdoor stimulation, rather. There we can all clink cups to pumpkin spice changing of the seasons.
