October was lovely. Here is our pumpkin Toofus, carved by Shonna. A few neighborhood kids came by, not more than about 5 groups, but we appreciated them. Most places we lived in SF never had any neighborhood kid trick-r-treaters. Ideally we'd like to live somewhere where people feel safe walking after dark, looking for candy in their own neighborhood rather than driving over to the wealthier parts of town.
I enjoyed raking leaves, listening to the World Series on the radio, "puttering" in the back yard like an old man. I can imagine doing the same thing many decades in the future, somewhere else, more slowly perhaps, but aware of the timeless nature of pumpkins, baseball, radio, leaves, fall.

Sabormetrics V -- The Dodger Dog
From our foreign correspondent Cris Logan:
"Whether you're a Giants fan or not, you must visit Chavez Ravine at least once. The warm weather, the pristine condition and 60s deco charm of this half-century old ballpark, the palm trees just past the centerfield bleachers. It's a glorious place to see a game.
Come hungry, but be forewarned: there are two types of Dodger Dogs at the various concessions along the concourse and available from the roaming vendors. The wise choice is always to go with the GRILLED Dodger Dogs. The steamed ones are, well, kind of shitty. The grilled, however, are a delight — and only available on the concourse.
Grill marks on the dog, cooked to an even perfection and nestled lovingly into a perfectly steamed bun that's easily three inches shorter than the dog itself. Dress it however you like. It's just another reason to love L.A."
