Windy, rain and leaf-clogged drains
If you’re just waking up DO NOT look outside. Go back to sleep. Its miserable out there. There is a lot of leaf-clogged drains and leaf-slick roads to deal with, you know the drill, so drive careful.

Did you know:
(Blogger’s note: I find this one hard to swallow)
As incredible as it sounds, in the “old days” men and women took baths only twice a year (May and October). Women kept their hair covered, while men shaved their heads (because of lice and bugs) and wore wigs. Wealthy men could afford good wigs made from wool. They couldn't wash the wigs, so to clean them they would carve out a loaf of bread, put the wig in the shell, and bake it for 30 minutes. The heat would make the wig big and fluffy, hence the term 'big wig'. Today we often use the term 'here comes the Big Wig' because someone appears to be or is powerful and wealthy.
Ya know, its articles like the foregoing that make me doubt the accuracy of web content.
