It's A Beautiful October Day

What a wonderful early fall day we had in the greater east (Martin Luther) King (jr.) County. It more than makes up for the lousy football the Seahawks have been playing. Historically October 4th is an interesting day, Pope Gregory XIII implements the Gregorian Calendar back in 1582, Belguim became declared Independence in 1830, Sputnik was launched and Leave it to Beaver premiered. Locally, the Alderwood Mall opened on this day back in 1979 and this afternoon, Ken Griffey Jr., may have played his last game. I unfortunately do not have pictures of any of these events. So what then to blog, I guess its back to the weather, and it was divine so here's a couple pictures of the fall foliage. The first is of Billy Goat Mountain, taken in the early 1950's, the second is from Olmstead State Park, October of 2001.
Enjoy
Dan
