One of the reasons for last weekend’s trip to Big Bear was to check out the turning of the leaves. It turned out that we were too early and didn’t see much color, but there was some color, including this very nice bigleaf maple on Highway 18. This is enough to remind us that we’re already a month into autumn, and you know what that means, don’t you? It means there are only a few days left of daylight saving time and you have to change your clocks next weekend. Tick, tick, tick.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
