Being the day of the autumnal equinox, fall has officially begun in Vermont, as it has everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere. But, it seems more fun here than a lot of other places. So it is time again for this foliage guide. I am off for a bike ride.

It’s really starting to feel like summer here in Burlington, VT. While running tonight and thinking about my day, I saw a group of kids with nothing on their minds but catching the passing ice cream truck. A good reminder that life should not be taken so seriously.

A friend’s email just reminded me of this classic quote:
In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to
alleviate the effects of the… Anyone? Anyone?… the Great Depression,
passed the… Anyone? Anyone? The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act?
Which, anyone? Raised or lowered?… raised tariffs, in an effort to collect
more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know
the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the
Great Depression. Today we have a similar debate over this. Anyone know what
this is? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone seen this before? The Laffer Curve.
Anyone know what this says? It says that at this point on the revenue curve,
you will get exactly the same amount of revenue as at this point. This is
very controversial. Does anyone know what Vice President Bush called this in
1980? Anyone? Something-d-o-o economics. “Voodoo” economics.
Bueller?…Bueller?

Here are just a few of the features of NBA star, Lebron James’ new Cleveland home, which is under construction:
Lebron wants to be the very first billionaire athlete. Raise your hand if you think these guys are overpaid already.
