Weather: Sunny, chill in the air, very few clouds.

It feels much colder than it did when I left...is that why the chicken fountain is drained? Have freezes started happening down here? There are a lot of fallen leaves, and they're still very crunchable, so it hasn't rained much if at all this weekend. But it also doesn't feel like the death grip of summer heat that we were in for most of September, and I'm always in favor of it being too cold rather than too warm. I don't see any here, but there have been squirrels running around burying things all over campus, not paying much heed to the humans. In front of the courthouse I saw one squirrel eating the inside of a stalk/stem of an unknown plant that had been cut down. They must feel more cold coming.
