To all of you, a very happy Thanksgiving from the AMS :: ATX team."The different characters of the trees appear better now, when their leaves, so to speak, are ripe, than at any other season; than in the winter, for instance, when they are little remarkable, and almost uniformly gray or brown, or in the spring and summer, when they are undistinguishably green.... It is with leaves as with fruits and woods, animals and men: when they are mature, their different characters appear." -Henry David Thoreau, "Autumn," September 30, 1851
