Off Topic -- Week 15 (Summer 2018 Season)

Welcome to a brand new Off Topic. We are inching closer to the fall season, and summer is winding down. Since it is Labor Day weekend, I would like to have a celebratory moment of falling leaves.

Here at TVRG, we are also looking forward to the return of Pumpkin Spice lattes. 

Good news, you can get it at Starbucks, or you can also get it at your local coffee shop. 

Now, let's discuss away!
