[kj] OT: Please pass the pumpkin pie

[fluw]

odd, last night coming home from a gig at the northern hemisphere's only 
16 sided building ( the nott memorial - known to some as the tit of 
tutelage or the nipple of knowledge - nott's nipple), there was a strong 
sweet smell in the air of Albany as well...but it was more like PUMPKIN 
PIE! no kidding, it could be one of two things, a local brew pub, 
"brown's", has a pumpkin ale stirring, or the local oil lizard barons 
are carving up the NY capitol region's wealth again.
