Signs of fall

I don't think any other season has so many "indicators" as autumn does: back to school, chrysanthemums and pumpkins, football, ragweed pollen, gingersnaps and apple cider, hearing the hounds and the huntsman's horn, planting tulip and daffodil bulbs, walnuts hammering down on the roof, reaching for jeans instead of shorts -- and starting to get political ads in the mail.
Speaking of the latter: Could we please put a moratorium on using the word "idiot" to describe politicians we disagree with?
