American Observer, Tuesday, October 6, 2009, Volume 15, No. 5

The weather outside is cooling. The tree leaves are changing from a sea of green to a vibrant mix of orange, brown, and yellow. People on every block talk about the successess and failures of their favorite football teams. That's right. Fall is in the air, and this week the American Observer rings autumn in right.
