Post your Events and Announcements on EG Patch: If you have something you’d like to see on the EG Patch calendar, upload it by clicking here and finding the “Add an Event” tab on the right. The Events Calendar is my go-to spot for the daily Five Things column. If you want to be featured in Five Things, make sure you post your items on the calendar! If you have something you’d like to post as an Announcement, you can do that by clicking here. I routinely post Announcements to the EG Patch home page. 

Weather: It is beginning to really feel like fall, isn’t it? Rain likely today, especially this morning, with highs only in the 50s.

FYI: Forty-five years ago Argentine revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara was executed in Bolivia, one day after he was captured there. He is reputed to have told his executioner: "I know you've come to kill me. Shoot me you coward! You are only going to kill a man!"
