Friday Varia and Quick Hits

Fall has sprung here in North Dakotaland with temperatures in the mid-60s, overcast skies, and trees changing colors. Football season is under way and in Australia, they’re beginning to look ahead to this summer’s Ashes. New fall albums provide a soundtrack and the backlog of books and articles released this summer provides the beat.
