Timelies all!
Quiet day here.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies!
I've been feeling really down. . . then discovered my new bottle of anti-d's unopened on my bathroom sink. Oops.
sarameg- I hope the new neighbor is even a good 50 percent as decent as your friend Brian.
Watched the 1st hour of Alias Grace the other day and then read the new Sharyn McCrumb, The Unquiet Grave and both are fictional accounts of 19th century True Crimes. True Crime: it is everywhere.
(I'm not actually trying to avoid it but - man. . . everywhere.)
Watched Eliza Wallace's head-cam of her CC run at Ocala Jockey Club, a documentary on Boyd Martin and now am watching a 4 year old episode of Gardener's World.
Youtube can be very helpful in avoiding the news.

Is it wrong to want some new major scandal to come along so we don't have to talk about Roy Moore for another month?
So you're the one who Monkey Paw'ed us into the Al Franken scandal.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
If we're picking potential scandals, I decided today that I really want to see someone punch Paul Ryan in the face. Just once.

Our wings are not tired.
sobs uncontrollably eta: not sobbing at Dana's suggestion! That would be awesome.
So, I messed up and got tickets to opening night of Annie Get Your Gun at the local community theater, on the night of the first home game of the high school basketball team DH coaches. Grumble grumble. I thought we would still be in football season and not have basketball games on Friday night. Bother.

Will they let you trade your tickets for unsold ones another night of the performance, Laura?

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, I am sure they will. It is the super nice local theater close to my house. I'm just annoyed.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
If anyone is looking for people watching opportunities, may I suggest Chicago's loop theatre district? The Christkindlmarket opened yesterday, A Christmas Carol started previews today, and Escape To Margaritaville opened Wednesday. The Parrotheads, with their hawaiian shirts and beach balls are a really quirky addition to the whole vibe.

Raked up 2 40g bags of leaves today, in addition to helping Brian store stuff in my basement & garage (some to be sold,some for later pickup as truck was full.)
And now it's getting windy and I already see another 2 bags worth on the ground. Oy. And I'm on my own for leaves, as one is traveling and the other just had surgery. Unless I can get the new guy, but he's got a lease thru December, so it will probably just be painters and contractors.
At least I know I get Brian back for a visit to get his stuff.
I think it's fair to note that before leaving, he got us a Ben, who I'm really coming to like. He LOVES to tell me all his house projects, and y'all know how I am about that. Plus, he's construction industry adjacent (architectural metalwork-locals, he's at Gutierrez and did a lot at Woodberry) and has all the #s and insider scuttle, so maybe just maybe I can find a reliable contractor. Or just serial reliable contractors.
