It’s fall, y’all…well, technically. According to NASA, this year’s fall equinox fell on Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 7:05 p.m. CT. The leaves are turning brown, but mostly because of the intense heat and lack of rain this month. It’s been one of the hottest summers on record for us this year, so hopefully we’ll see the high temps fall off for this season soon. Here’s to cooler weather like this morning’s- and here’s some fall event news from our MSCA president, Kevin L. Williams…
