Happy travels, billytea and family! Don't let the MAGA hats get you.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Today was the hottest October 2nd since they started keeping temperature records in my county, and the hottest October temperature recorded since 1897.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, I figured. Have a Dole Whip for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Tomorrow the high is supposed to be 97 and on Friday 95.
Yikes, everyone! We're actually pretty seasonal here -- it was in the 70s yesterday, but only in the 50s today.

Our wings are not tired.
Still in hot Florida. Looking at 86F today, so not too bad. My plan was originally to go back to Otter Lake the 4th and stay until the end of the month. Now my sister has to have a medical procedure on the 11th, which I would like to stay for, and DH has basketball try-outs on the 15-17th. So now it looks like I won't get back until the 19th at the earliest, with my SILs and their sons arriving on the 20th. Yikes. Then spend about a week and head back.
It wouldn't be so bad except I left quite a lot of stuff up north thinking I was only here a short time. Like my vitamins, my work phone, favorite cooking devices. Ugh.

Because books.
That's such a long trip, too, Laura! But October up there must be beautiful.
Anyone have thoughts on the best paper to subscribe to online? I'm waffling between the NY Times and the Washington Post.

The Times pisses me off too much, so I subscribe to the Post. Also I enjoy many of their weekly chats.

That was my thought. I kind of don't want to give money to the Times on principle.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Trying to convince ltc she needed to wear long sleeves and a heavy jacket today after how warm it was yesterday was no fun.

I subscribe to both, and moderate a Times reader's group. Sure, they make me crazy at times, but I still find them a good source. I think my subscription lets me invite people for $1 a week subscription.
