Once or twice per year, I remember I have a Best Buy credit card and they occasionally give me $5 as incentive to buy something with it.

So note to self: do a final yard rake before Thanksgiving.
We'll probably still have a few days above 40ºF in December, but for the most part the warm & dry days are probably coming to an end for a while.
