Here in Ireland we follow a Celtic calendar. Autumn (fómhar) is defined as the three month period with the Autumnal Equinox as midpoint. For simplicity, seasons nowadays align with the months of the Gregorian civil calendar so Autumn starts on the first day of August.

Kevin Mitnick was able to get mugshots of police that were investigating him by buying a police yearbook claiming it was a present for a relative who was a police officer.

"At one point, he went to a police station and found a Los Angeles Police Department yearbook for sale. It included photographs and names of the very undercover squads seeking him. He said he wanted to buy a copy as a gift for his police officer uncle. With no questions asked, for $75 he walked away with a photo guide to his pursuers."

It would be bad if I lost my Gmail account but I do have a DRP (Disaster Recovery Plan) for that. I download everything each month via IMAP to have a local backup and for all registrations instead of just using my Gmail address I use an e-mail address in my own domain which redirects to my Gmail address. It would be bad if I lost my Gmail account but I do have a DRP for that.
