We don't go back to standard time until Sunday, Nov. 1. Remember to turn back any analog clocks. This time of year is also a good time to look for vehicle recalls and check/change the batteries in your smoke alarms.

Checking for safety recalls is very important, but it is also very easy. Every vehicle has a unique VIN. Enter a VIN at NHTSA.gov/recalls to learn if your specific vehicle needs to be repaired...

Have you ever had a package from your porch or stoop? When I lived in Lawrence, KS, someone took a box with a phone charger off my front steps while I was at work. I haven't had any package stolen from my stoop in Brooklyn, but sometimes the box is "hidden" by our trash cans. More often than not, delivery drivers buzz a building until someone lets them in to drop the package in the foray. Is there a better way?

When I was growing up the holidays meant a lot of travel. My family, like 107 million Americans, traveled from Dec. 23 - Jan 1. Having 3 older brothers, it was always a magic trick getting our large family into a car in any kind of timely fashion. We spent Thanksgiving and Christmas with family in Kansas City, about an hour away from home in Topeka. I fondly recall traveling to see the KC plaza lights on Thanksgiving night or falling asleep in the car on the way home from the Christmas Eve party and waking up in my bed on christmas morning.

Electric scooters haven't made it to New York yet. While I was visiting friends in DC I rode a Lime, or maybe it was a Bird. It was a lot of fun, I zipped around for a few minutes, it was very easy to use and control. One issue was that I was unsure where to place it at the end of my ride. Eventually I put it next to a crowded bike rack, but I could see too many scooters getting out of hand. That said, I would use this everyday for my 2.1 mile commute. That may come sooner than later.

Fall is my favorite season.
