I haven't yet researched the scientific explanation but I like to think that the change in colour is in part due to the fact that the roses have been kissed by the cool Autumn air:

The Autumn Rose
I REALLY like roses...especially the Autumn rose as it is no ordinary rose. It is beautifully decorated with at least two tones of colour (one of the tones being darker than the rose's original colour). Even a rose that is monochromatic during the summer will have some variation of colour in the Autumn.

The Toilet Paper Monster's Dilemma
I suppose it's all of the cloth diaper talk over at THE MRS that has gotten me thinking (more than usual) about water-closet use.
The Dilemma:
I've been told that I use too much toilet paper. The truth is, I'm a toilet paper monster. Just like the cookie monster, but different because I don't actually EAT toilet paper.
Who can determine how much toilet paper another person needs?? Is there some kind of equation to figure this out?
Let me see....
3 squares for #2 + 2 squares for #1 = 5 squares ?
If I use "too much" toilet paper, does that mean that others walk about with only semi-clean private parts? Eeewww.
In my Defense:
1) It's UNDENIABLE that females need to use more toilet paper than males......
2) Call me a princess, but I like to sit on a clean toilet seat. If it is not clean, I will wipe it and then line it if it's a public toilet.
3) I prefer my post-toilet-use hand-washing to be for good measure, not because my hands are actually contaminated. You're welcome, friends and new acquaintances!
Conclusion:
Maybe I should join the Swiss army to learn how to use less TP. I've been told that's the place to learn how to have a 2 minute shower so I figure they must also teach efficiency in wiping and toilet paper conservation.
