It's October here in Southern Germany. Well, everywhere, actually. Unless there are still some places that use some other calendar (taking into account the translation into the local language which here incidentally basically gives you October again but spelled with a "k"). Which I don't think there are, places that use another calendar (places that are in contact with modern civilization anyways). Which is pretty crazy actually that somehow everyone everywhere could agree (explicitly or implicitly -- i.e. imposed upon) on a common calendar and breaking things up into months and all that and then there are so many other things that can't be agreed upon. The leaves have changed and it's full-on Fall. It actually even feels more like almost-Winter and like Christmas is right around the corner. This morning the present weather was reported as "light snow" in Munich (though I didn't see any). Our new German course is already half-way done. Ich konnte sogar schreibe in Deutsch, wenn ich wollte (aber ich werde nicht). The Munich Marathon (of which I participated in the "half") has come and gone, and Oktoberfest is nothing but a (fuzzy) memory.
Oktoberfest 2015 (final night)
Cycling season is over. The hardcore will still be out with their lights and long-tights but it's finished for the rest of us. Montreal starts the season with five straight wins for the first time ever. The Blue Jays win three required in a row to come from behind 2-0 and move to the ALCS in what has been called the greatest and most insane baseball game of all time. Could something special be in the cards for 2015-2016?
