Fall's Changing Colors

Now, however, October is all about pink — and breast cancer awareness. (That’s not a bad thing, of course, though if I ever see pink candy corn, I might have to eat it all in protest.) Almost instantaneously when the clock struck 12:01 a.m. on Oct. 1, it seems, Facebook turned pink. As did grocery store and megamart shelves. Doughnuts donned pink icing and deeper pink sprinkles, yogurt lids blushed from their refrigerated perches, and skyscrapers in major cities became bathed in rosy light.
