All Hallow’s eve ‘22
Behind, squeezed and marginally overwhelmed for I do not readily admit such things. This is entrez vous to the holiday season beginning with a minor, pagan fest aka Halloween.
The powers that be have an easy sell getting children to use disguises, masks etc to go door-to-door annoying and robbing inhabitants of candy on the premise of ‘tricks or a treat.’ Some choice.
SO THE SCROOGE SHOWS UP DRESSED IN ORANGE AT HALLOWEEN TO DESTROY THE BUZZ OF UP-AND-COMERS. NICE. YOUR MOTHER MUST BE SO PROUD.
Listen up and pay attention Ms Bold Caps. If you value CONTINUING EMPLOYEMENT do not insinuate or insult my Mom in any way. This is your verbal, written and FINAL warning got it?
YES.
Yes what?
YES SIR.
Don’t forget it. For your own good.
Where was I ?
Yes, Halloween will remain on the new calendar according to Bill so just calm down and chill however there will be significant ‘retooling’.
Standby for those details as a committee HAS BEEN FORMED so YOU know how THAT goes.
Should anyone lack for an ‘idea’ to generate revenue, here’s one for you FREE, to run with.
An ORANGE Grinch and ‘How He Stole Halloween’. One of the images today resulted from a random search to see if it had been done before so by all means run with it and send a meager royalty check HERE at the cloud when you get one. Kind of surprised someone hasn’t thought of this already but what do I know?
The weekend was nice. Sunday night the garage door spring broke in a terrible crash. I was expecting the worst when I went out into the garage to inspect for an intruder OR damage. Minimal damage and a call is in for repairs. There is not a tech available until tomorrow. I am effectively trapped and being held hostage. In a sense.
Getting back on track, Election day is practically here and Thank God for that. I am going early to vote very early, with the current read and plan to WAIT. Yes, it IS that important.
Attaching again Defending the Republic link from today. While all the pieces are good and have merit, pay particular attention to 3,4,5,and 6.
When your Grandpa is an award-winning artist, expect anything at Halloween.
Saturday morning I dove into the deep freeze looking for a link of Slovenian sausage my Uncle John gave me. I pulled out a packet to thaw and when I looked at it closer later it was a frozen turkey neck.
Not to be derailed, it is processing today into a stellar turkey soup. FB was gifted some kinky squash which she over-nighted and I am planning to cook and process what I THINK is butternut squash(?).
I have some estate-grown hot peppers and am I looking forward to supper.
The stack numbers as in views and visits have been galactic totaling over 100 (average 34.2) over the most recent three (3) day span. When I post up.
In addition to the upcoming election and voting I am looking forward to 5N when the jury starts reviewing artist submissions for the 2023 WWAF. Also over the weekend I completed a major overhaul of the website. Don’t look now but I’ll slip in a link before The End.
So that’s it. Right around 800 words, 3-4 minute read and life is OK. The roof doesn’t leak, soup is processing and the sun is shining. After a brisk ride on Sunday and a spa treatment I was down to 166 which I am very happy with.
If I could get Silver out of the stable I could work in the garage but that’s even ok. I can paint indoors, clean (not so much) and flip pages on the current read. Agents of Deceit remains and is still outstanding. The web of deceit and deception is absolutely incredible and phenomenal AND goes back EASILY 100 years. The timeline now is the 1920s-30s and should you read it you would QUICKLY realize corrupt politicians, lies and deception is so NOT news. Volleys have been going back and forth BEFORE my GREAT Grandparents. The author stated last night that the public has a ‘very short memory.’ How true.
OK so I’m a prisoner in my own house without being able to get the vehicle out but even that is fine today.
Tomorrow is November (N) and life goes on.
One more thing. My brother thoughtfully sent a link to an old video from another one of a childhood Heroes and generator of fine and fond memories. See if you recognize him.
Signing off today as ‘Victim under house arrest.’
