Today is day three of three for Jacksonville’s annual Oktoberfest. I went yesterday for the first time ever. I met up with my BFF from 6th grade. We hadn’t seen each other in over 27 years. Good times.

I just got back from four days spent north of Ashland on or near I-5 (mostly in Tacoma, Seattle, and Portland). Today’s photo is from a trip earlier this year though.

Josh Donaldson of the Oakland Athletics
Money can’t buy you love. Nor can it buy you a ticket to the post-season in MLB. The A’s clinched the American League West title earlier today with a payroll less than half that of the San Francisco Giants. The Giants will be lucky not to come in dead last in the National League West.

A Japanese Maple in the rain
Along with cooler temps, we have now had a bit of rain and fog in Ashland. It feels like summer’s over. I bet we still have a few more summer-like days ahead though.
