This pretty much sums up the state of fall - it's fallen. The trees are, for the most part, bare now. And (oh, woe!), apparently snow is on the way. Oh, boy.

Meanwhile, a very nice restaurant, "Zocalo", owned by a very hard-working woman, with an equally hard-working staff, burned to the ground this morning. Tanya worked her butt off to get the place up and running, it was a 24-hour-a-day job that she sank the past 2 years of her life into. Poof. Gone. Along with the jobs of all of her staff. Not a happy day.
