There is a lot going on in the world this month. Harvey, Irma, Jose, flooding and earthquakes in sad abundance the world over, and of course the Great American Cheeto is still in office making America grate again, mostly on the rest of the world’s last nerve. All of these world events are the bread …
Ah, 2023! The year that’s been serving us a cocktail of unpredictability with a dash of “Seriously? Again?”. But hey, if there’s one thing we’ve mastered, it’s the art of finding joy in the little things, especially when our wallets are giving us the side-eye. Enter fall, nature’s way of throwing us a bone.
