It's leaf-peeping season they say,but I've never heard people call it that? There are abundant opportunities to see all of fall's beauty. CNN Travel has lined up the best fall foliage road trips. Head through the South, along the Blue Ridge Parkway, for lush and hazy mountain views. New England and Great Lakes destinations may hold surprises in the form of quaint covered bridges or historic cranberry bogs. Out West, the changing colors combine with more rugged terrain. Above is an example scene from a leaf-peeping destination, Skyline Drive, a 105-mile National Scenic Byway that curves through Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.

 Laziness Contest? I am in!


 We have a lot of cool sports stories this week, US Open, Football, Basketball, Track, Golf, (and Sumo's starts for fifteen days starting 10/10/2023. Held in Tokyo at the famous Ryogoku Kokugikan. The event is broadcast on NHK (Japan's BBC) . Maybe, the best sport there is: Lying down and doing absolutely nothing. A "laziest citizen" contest in Montenegro has been going strong for more than three weeks now, and the remaining handful of contestants are still lounging happily on mats, reading, scrolling on their phones and generally avoiding responsibility or worry. "All of us feel good, excellent, there are no health problems, they are pampering us, all we have to do is to remain lying down,” said 2021 champion Dubravka Aksic, 38. The contest was launched in the tiny Adriatic country 12 years ago to mock a popular myth that labels Montenegrins as lazy, said Radonja Blagojevic, the organizer and owner of the resort where the contest is held (because of course, it's held at a resort).

Jacki, your new colors are perfect for autumn - as seen in this marvelous pic of the mountain woods. Here our woods don't look so bright and beautiful.
