Weekend coffee #198.

Leaning into fall pretty hard over here. That includes my favorite Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice tea, baking this Big Apple Crumb Cake (see above), switching out my closet, and enjoying the sound of leaves crunching underneath my feet when I walk the dogs. Also going on a “foliage cruise” from Highlands to West Point tomorrow since this is supposed to be the peak week. What can I say, I feel like I didn’t take advantage of this last summer so I’m going to be damn sure I do it up in autumn. Though please note, pumpkin flavored anything need not apply. Here’s what else is going on:

• A Typical Friday in Oregon, As Imagined by My East Coast Friends. This had me roaring.

• Rover’s pictures show long history of rivers flowing into Martian crater

• The Revolt of the American Worker

• How Many Years of Life Do I Lose from Not Dealing with Stress?

• Photographer Alison Braun Shares Some Shots & Memories from the ‘80s Hardcore Scene

• Currently watching: Pretty Smart (which, for the record, is terrible)

• Currently reading: How to Win Friends & Influence People (because it came up in conversation recently so why not)

That’s all for now. Until next time - thanks for following along and don’t forget to pre-order a shirt.
