I suppose a complete hazmat suit for the duration of transit would be impractical
Man, I would be down for that if I could get through airport security.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Quantas offered a flight to nowhere (flying over various Australian landmarks). It sold out in ten minutes.

Also - the Green Party is having a rally outside my office building. Their sound system seems to be turned up to 11 (periodically, I can feel the building vibrating). I have a headache ... may go home early.

I'd suggest you go outside with a "Stop Noise Pollution " sign, but they probably wouldn't appreciate it

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Speaking of autumnal goodies, let me spread the word about apple cider syrup. Get some non-alcoholic apple cider (aka, non-clarified apple juice). Fresh from a farm stand, if you've got 'em. Then dump it all in a big sauce pan or pot and boil it down until it's the consistency of maple syrup. That'll probably mean reducing it by 3/4s. Put it on pancakes, waffles, etc. It is so good! I made it toward the end of apple cider season last year, and I'm looking forward to making it again this fall.

Oooh. That does sound good!

When I was a kid, in the autumn we'd go to a local farm and get icy cold fresh cider and plain donuts fresh out of the fryer. I remember them as being THE BEST.

Our wings are not tired.
I'll have a bit of apple cider this time of year, but not a big fan as it is on the sweet side for me. Now, my dad's hard cider was another matter altogether. Yum.
I'll no doubt buy some pumpkin coffee grounds, but I drink it black, so none of the sweeter pumpkin offerings.
