60 years since JFK: Places to visit around the world that honor the US President. "On the 22 November 1963, news soon spread that the 35th President of the United States of America, John F. Kennedy, had been assassinated. He was riding in a roofless vehicle through downtown Dallas when he was shot and killed in broad daylight, sending shockwaves across the world. On the 60th anniversary of the tragic event, we explore the places across the USA – and some other unexpected destinations – that commemorate JFK, from a Presidential library to moving memorials."

Unsurprisingly, this isn't the only place in Dallas featured on our list." READ MORE

This probably depends upon where you live, but here November brings the falling of the black walnuts, and the ripening of the blue juniper (cedar) berries. They both are all over the ground right now. A flock of about a dozen robins came through in town this week. Very unusual to see more than two at a time. They have been eating the juniper berries. Ask me how I know.
