That junk trailer looks like
...a vision of my future. Synchronicity, at least in a symbolic way.

Do you plan to resurrect the house again?

Hope your insurance will cover it.
Good luck.

Still don't have a plan
...so far living on the good graces of family and a few friends, mostly due to Ms. So's stock of good will. We'll see what happens. Living like a refugee, apropos. Still in the shock phase.

Hey, good morning
.
.
some silly news coming from the Biden clown show
in the form of a 'sternly' worded leak to Nutty yahoo
to allow more Humanitarian aid in to Gaza or risk losing
military aid.
This is the second 'warning' and puts a deadline in 30
days (in other words after the elections). What a crock.
How many more will starve in a month?

I think that,
as far as Netanyahoo is concerned, the answer to that question is "the rest of them".

I’ve been saying this
Even if food got to the children today their lives have already been ruined because of lack of nutrients needed during their growth period.
I saw a picture of a baby yesterday with a huge head and tiny, scrawny legs. It tore my heart.

Good morning...
A chilly 42F this AM. Fall has arrived, but it is back in the 80's next week. Don't like the Alabama weather? Wait 15 minutes.
Have the sweet potatoes under covers to get a couple more weeks of growth before we dig them. Last evening was cloudy, but this evening we're headed to the West brow of the mountain to see the comet.

You can see it by looking west at sunset. Binoculars make it better.
Thanks for the OT!

pretty cool here
mid 30's last night
a local friend sent a picture of the comet
I looked for it, but couldn't spot it
on my way home (visually challenged)

Good afternoon, cap'n
I turned on the heater at the office. I wanted to get the smell of burned rat hair, which always accompanies the first use of the season, over and done before clients show up.
I managed to have 3 hearings set at the same time tomorrow. The legal term of art applied to that situation is "cluster fuck".
Oh, well, the judge will insist on setting a time limit on them.
It is strange that the US has set a 30 day period for Israel to get humanitarian aid to Gaza. Until then, Gazans can starve, die of thirst, die from lack of health care, and I guess we think that is fair to Israel. And, as am added fairness bonus, they will get money military aid, and some soldiers.
How could Israel turn that down?
Thanks for the OT, friend.

Hola! mid fifties here, brief, ultra light drizzle for about
1/2 hour around 8:30. Vacuumed up a ton of leaves just out of front yard, will do back tomorrow. A bit worn out from trip and now have fall chores and about 50 pounds of mail - it's ridiculous.
Saw somebody quoting somebody to the effect that the Ukie war will end when the US says it will. Well Duh! Thanx for the Muse - ic.
be well and have a good one

We could have
our first snow of the season Friday night into Saturday. The forecast is toggling back and forth between the low temp dropping below freezing late Friday night or not, so if there are flakes it will be mixed with rain. But we haven't really had a decent frost yet, so that will be the first real wintry note hereabouts.
I put fresh all-season tires on the car last week, at ruinous prices, so I'm now content and ready for the snow to fly. Bring it on- I'm looking forward to sitting in front of the fire in the fake fireplace and sipping an Adult Beverage one more time.
