Fall is in full force. So, please watch for ghosts and goblins in the crosswalks. It is getting dark earlier, and if you are out and about in our quaint town, please wear light colors—and maybe a blinker—at night. For sure, if you are biking (electric or manual) do the same. If we see you, we won’t accidentally hit you.
And, if you are lonely, call a meeting. Or perhaps stop by one of these upcoming events…
