Good morning, Andi!
Three-day weeks are great. While I was in on Monday, I'm off tomorrow and Friday - Berkshires waiting.

Hi Ask (4.00 / 5)

Oh that sounds great. I'm just going to work on getting the rest of of firewood cut and stacked (Jim's off for Fall Break).

I hope you'll have lovely weather and even lovelier fall color.

Well both Jim and I try to take the Huck Finn role but somehow that just doesn't work.

Actually, it's pretty satisfying work and the forecast is for sun and temps in the 60s so it should be perfect weather for outdoor exertion.

I actually think I like those little long weekend breaks better than a long vacation. I get antsy when I'm away from home for too long, plus, I'd rather have more frequent short breaks than one big long one.

Despite the extreme lack of rain, we're still having a pretty fall here. The oaks and beeches haven't changed yet but this picture doesn't have any so it's putting on a very colorful show.

Morning ID. The deeper part of our woods aren't that colorful because they are so dominated by beeches and oaks (and I'm guessing neither of those will show much color anyway since it's so dry).

Jim and I will be in your neighborhood later today. I need to go to the library to do some really high speed downloading so we decided we would just go ahead and do early voting while we're in town (and even better, eat dinner at the Hobnob).

That's really beautiful Andi.

However, you've never seen the Southern pine straw turn. It goes from green to....... well brown. The months we wait for that is just something that----OK actually we go back into the house and wait for it to happen. ;)

It's still warm down here, but from the big Oaks and Pecan trees in the back yard we're having leaves fall. My brother came back last week and did the lawn and it's still now growing. Yeeeeeaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

Things are doing well, and I hope that everyone here is doing good.

BTW it's getting close to snow pictures! I'm very much looking forward to that.

Everyone take care, and I hope that you're doing fine.

All the news says is that an "incendiary device" was in the parking garage - a 69 man who lived in the condos picked up a package that was next to his car and it exploded.

When I left at 6:00 they still had the street blocked off and the ten white SUV's were still parked all in a row, so the feds are still in there looking around.

OK (4.00 / 4)

Don't worry, I'm a chicken and I don't take risks.

Here's a funny story to make you laugh. I was driving this morning and I was passing a bunch of houses that mostly had Obama signs with just an occasional McCain sign. This was an area that's usually Republican so it made me happy. Then I saw a McCain sign next to an Obama sign. At first I thought they must be in adjoining yards right next to each other, but then I realized they were in the same yard. And each one had an extra little sign on the stick, right below the political sign. The McCain sign said "his" and the Obama sign said "hers". I really laughed at that.

I had a bird's eye view (4.00 / 4)

of a building two doors up that had to be evacuated because a bomb went off in the parking garage. There's a major street and a one story building between us so I could look out my window and watch everything. Lots of fire engines and police cars - and then a line of identical white SUV's drove down the street, parked all in a row and a bunch of big guys dressed in dark clothes got out and went inside. They were still there when I left.

That is pretty exciting. Did anybody get any work done in your office today?

I had a really exciting morning at Parents' Day at CBtE's school. Best part was when his Spanish teacher began going off about how he hates John McCain, and there is no way he'll vote for him even though he's a registered Republican, and what was he thinking picking that woman for VP? Classic.

Things are pretty good here. CbtE seems to be off to a good start at school this year, which is a relief. CBtY has been home with a cold, but he's heading back to school tomorrow.

I'm busy with work, which is very welcome after a slow August and September. And of course we're all anxiously awaiting November 4.

Amazingly (4.00 / 4)

yes. Because once all the evacuated people disappeared there was really not much to see except for fireman hanging out for hours.

What really sucked for the people in that building is that they weren't allowed back in - and so they couldn't get their cars. So they all had to figure out how to get home I guess.

I think I love CBtE's Spanish teacher :)

Re: Amazingly (4.00 / 4)

We just had a parking garage bomb episode near here: LINK I don't think they've figured out who did it, either.

Actually, all of CBtE's teachers seemed pretty good this year. And his advisor (he chose the same one he had last year) is also his art teacher this year, and they're making really cool clay stuff for the first part of the year. I'll have to post pictures of his work when it comes home.

The whole political conversation with the Spanish teacher started when he began talking about his wife's uncharacteristically loud and visceral reaction to seeing McCain on the tee-vee. :)

Do post them (4.00 / 4)

it would be cool to see them.

I went to the eye doctor this morning for my yearly checkup and suddenly he started talking about the election. I've been going to this guy for years and he's never brought it up before. He was acting like he was ambivalent, but it seemed pretty clear he was going toward Obama. I think he brought it up because he's looking for affirmation. So I affirmed. :)

When my Grandmother was alive, we went out every year and picked up every pecan. She would have us going up into the trees to shake them. She could do wonders with pecans. Actually she could do wonders with anything she cooked. I can't really remember her ever being out of the kitchen. However, I can't remember her not ever loving what she was doing.

who lives in Southern Missouri. She's in a nursing home now but when I was a kid we used to go down to her house all the time. There were pecan trees lining the fields at the end of her street and no one cared if you went and collected pecans.

I liked collecting them but I hated the whole cracking and cleaning part. But I liked the eating part. :)

Snow's a little iffy here. Sometimes we have it, more often - not.
