I brought my recorder on a walk by the evening, hoping to get you the sound of footsteps crunching leaves.

0:37.0

But the city hit 80 degrees this week, so you'll instead hear the occasional air conditioner.

It was pleasant out though, and you could see through the windows that the Seahawks Giant's game was on more than a few TVs.

One house was watching an episode of the show's suits.

I won't be trick-or-treating, but if I were a kid, I would skip that one, because they will probably be giving out something boring or weird.

1:09.0

There are some early Halloween decorations, and if you can't tell, I'm pointing the microphone directly at them as I go by, and I am going by.
