It’s the countdown to Halloween that will come knocking on your door this Thursday. Weather forecast: frightful in some places, with snow in the Midwest over to the Great Lakes and rain up the entire eastern coast. And, of course, wildfires in California.

Seems like everyone goes to Las Vegas for a convention at least once every two years. If you’re there now or going in the next couple of weeks, there will be millions of other tourists in your way. Relax, not the entire state of Kansas, just grasshoppers.
