It's only when the temperature drops really quickly that you really understand what a great time you had when it was hot out. This week we bring you the sounds of the office once again, which include some new things we've found this week, and some of our favorites. Many thanks to the people who have been saying 'respect the Earth' without making a major motion picture or a world tour. Maybe Peace prizes should be given to people without publicists. M million dollars sure would go a long way to people trying t make peace in war torn places. Just saying.
