 I was in the east once and saw the gorgeous 
"fall colors".  This year, for some reason, the maples are more colorful 
than I've ever seen them around our place, not as widespread as in the 
east, but very beautiful, nonetheless.  We have more evergreens than 
deciduous trees here, so we don't have the amount of color.  The 
aspens in the Sierras are something else!  So Maryben isn't just 
exaggerating...it is a little unusual for coastal CA.

  Hope the weather holds out for you 
  guys.  I was noticing the pretty fall colors driving home tonight.  
  I know, you guys in the East are laughing hysterically about California "fall 
  colors".   I know they are not nearly as bright and pretty 
  but.........it was clear and in the 70's today with the same predicted for the 
  whole holiday.....mb
