This morning on the way to work I saw 3 or 4 V-formations of Canadian geese flying south. It got me thinking about other sure signs around Sacramento that winter is coming…

Another sure sign..the menu changes at many restaurants, and one or two kitchen workers at many places are laid off until spring.
