ST.

The recent cool nights have played a pivotal role in bringing out the fall colors.  Brittish Williams – From ‘Basketball Wives’ to guilty plea Those with burning bushes at home will be among the first to notice the change. Maple trees, too, have started their gradual shift in color. The changing colors are starting farther west and north, though pockets of fall color can also be found just south of St. Louis. For those willing to take a scenic route, traveling through the hills along Hwy. 67 or alongside the bluffs along I-55 might provide glimpses of the transitioning colors. The changing colors will continue closer to Halloween, even extending into early November.

So if a corpse was in a coffin in the back, does that qualify as two people in the vehicle?
