TODAY'S RAP SHEET FOR MONDAY SEPTEMBER 22ND, 2008: Hello Fall!! As of 8:44 this morning, and because this was a leap year, the change of the season was pushed back by about a day. It's the earliest autumnal equinox in at least 6 years. Weather "experts" say that we had a pretty normal, typical summer, except for about 2 weeks in August...some nice stretches of sunny weather in July and the 1st two weeks of September. If your hoping for an Indian Summer, apparently, the long range forecast is for cooler than normal weather. Definitely cooler and windier as October gets here.

Thought of the day: People don't change when they see the light. They change when they feel the heat! Or Yoda says: There is either do or not do, there is NO try.

They figure there were about 20 to 30 thousand people around Dallas Road and Clover Point to see the spectacular Snow Birds perform. Wasn't that amazing! The show was less than 45 minutes, but the traffic hangover continued for at least 2 hours after.

The Victoria Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Awards were held at the Strathcona Hotel. Everyone from Valdy to Red Robinson to The Brothers' Forbes were back at Element NightClub for the recognition they deserved. There were some of the legends who shaped Victoria music industry, and a great time was had by all.

New season of Dancing with the Stars on tv tonight. Cloris Leachman at 82 with be the official oldest person to ever participate in the show, Susan Lucci at 61 is also taking part. Other stars include Toni Braxton, Ted McGinley and Cody Linley of Hannah Montana fame is the youngest at 18.

One scandal after another with this election.....couldn't help but notice the story of the candidate from Saanich-Gulf Islands who tore off his clothes, taking part in a body painting event, then went for a skinny-dip in the lake back in 1996. Ya have to know that someone has it on video, and it WILL come back to haunt you!!! Always remember that when running for office.

If your a Yankee fan, the legendary Yankee Stadium in the Bronx is now history. They played the last game yesterday, and will move right across the street to the new one. It was quite a send off, legend look-a-likes paraded around the field in old Yankee uniforms like Babe Ruth and Joe DiMaggio...in fact, Babe Ruth's daughter threw out the first pitch. Yankee Stadium saw it's first game in the 1920's.
