Signs of Fall

Yes, though it's still the middle of summer, the first signs of an early Fall here in the Chico area were detected yesterday. A pickup truck, loaded with old furniture and a few mattresses passed me in a big hurry. The driver appeared to be of college age and his driving skills were appropriate to that age level. Actually, his was the third mattress laden vehicle I have seen in the past few days and that is a sure sign that the students are arriving for the Fall semester at Chico State.

Another sign of Fall would be the renewed controversy over the annual "Idiocy on the River" mass tube floating that quite a few students participate in during Labor Day. Local authorities are making discouraging noises..."No alcohol!" and "No parking!" are the current proposals to curb the clutter on the river.
