I guess if anybody's listening or watching--I could surprize with a blog.
No particular reason for the gap--other than time goes by.
Cut some shrubs today, and put up some holiday lights. Going for the blue and white lights 60s look this year. And the multicolored Christmas ball wreath, inside the larger wreath of white lights.
Working on yard now to get ready for spring, instead of waiting until February to plant (fatten squirrels) bulbs.
Halloween was rainy. Had about 26 treaters. About same as last year, and way down from 64 before that.
I think we're going to Indian Springs State Park Saturday. Get the medicinal sulfur water. Lunch at Buckner's in Jackson. All you can eat place.
Went to my first Powwow last weekend at Stone Mountain Park. Colorful and interesting. Would like to do more, but I guess the season is over for now.
Weekend before that we went to Helen GA for the last day of Oktoberfest. Had some street performers there. British guy wearing one man band devices like from a scene in Mary Poppins. Sweet, petite French woman was making balloon hats and the like. To have so little and be living such a hand to mouth existence--they seemed to have better attitudes than most people.

It's always gratifying when real news items are dealt with. The 2 linked articles were good too.
I'd been using mozilla firefox browser for awhile and thought it ok. The last update was a disaster however, and I'm now using google chrome. I'm now wondering if maybe comcast wasn't to blame for my net deficiencies this past year but firefox.
Still have this lingering crud in the back of my throat that won't totally go away. But everyone else I know has it too.
Lovely rain outside. My yard and flowers will be happy.
I've cleaned out a lot of stuff lately. Still a work in progress.
Still see the hawk in my backyard. Haven't had to set squirrel trap out in awhile. One sunflower actually blooming nicely.

You
have a calling, and signs are emerging around you that reinforce that
fact. People are giving you feedback that is genuine -- they're not
just praising you for the heck of it! Have faith in yourself and
understand that you're capable of amazing things. The worst mistake you
can make today is to limit yourself. This applies to new relationships,
career challenges and even business opportunities. Act on your ideas
and climb out of your shell.
Well, it sounds good.
*********** Where's Wil-do? Town hall last week. I'm left of center between blond woman and guy with sign. B-52s last Friday were fun. Glad to see they're still in top form after all these years.

Went to a "town hall" Monday night. Small crowd was let in the actual auditorium with panelists; much larger crowd of maybe 1500 or so in the "overflow" hall. I think the initial group was packed with "pro" insiders who knew what was going on as for seating, and everyone else herded to larger main hall. The Atlanta Journal which does very creative and imaginative reporting--said the crowd seemed in favor of it. I'd say the overall crowd of two thousand people were split down the middle, and both sides very contentious and demonstrative. Organizers said pleas for "civility' were heeded--but I think if the whole thing had been in one big hall--the results would have been like all the others on TV.
It was rather hot with bad air waiting in line, and the cough I'd got ridden off bugging me again.
So--two thousand people--two thousand opinions? One questioner made a good point--There are five bill versions being considered--what about a town hall before the final vote? The Georgia 4th District Representative--who for the most part is utterly incoherent--said--Weeeell things happen quickly in Washington (hisses from audience), maybe not before hand, but immediately afterwards (much booing).
Well I'll say this--I'm glad so many people showing interest in the political process now.
B-52's concert tomorrow night. Amazing something so cool still doing well. Dance this mess around!
Put out feelers to work again at the Coca Cola Museum. We'll see. The Centennial Olympic Park area downtown the evolving museum/tourist district.
Lots of hummingbirds. A few butterflies. Hawk on the back patio. Owl the other night. A few scraggly sunflowers blooming.

I went to my parent's grave and released most of my brother's ashes on the site. I hate to say this, but it's the first time I've been back there since my mother's funeral a rather long time ago. I seemed to have had some type of anxiety knot about going there for years, but it seems to be gone now. The cemetery really not that far from me, in Atlanta terms. The ground sort of patchy, so next time I'll bring weed and feed. And grass seeds later on.
Somewhat unusual mausoleum building near it. Like an old chateau, where maybe the insides had been partially gutted and hallways put in. It even had ramparts and towers, and blocked off damaged (?) areas. Rather strong chemical scent. I guess formaldehyde. Also had a chapel, with really ornate wood working and carvings, dark stained glass windows, and faded old looking paintings. Very much a movie set. And steep carved stone staircases spiraling deeply into the basement. And a number of dead ends and cul de sacs in the hallways, balconies and enclosed once gardens now with dead dry brown plant husks.It was curious to wander around, but the odor was getting to me after a while.
(edit) I didn't know Westview Cemetery was so historic.
Came home and did some yard work, pulling up along the sidewalk and curbs where grass and weeds have spread out. Always about this time of year to do that. And I made the mosquitos and fireants very happy too. *scratch*
