The gorgeous foliage I see is in photos someone posts.
Sigh...
Must head to work, get ready for court this morning. In my spare time, I will come up with some errand for Dear One, as it is quite important for him to stay busy doing things for me.
At least, that is my perspective.
Can't wait for this election to be over.
Take care of the plumbing, friend, and thanks for the OT!

fall on me on the way to work this AM, and had the first freeze last night. It's been a long and very pleasant Indian summer, and it'll be right back up into the 60s for a few more days after this.
Many of the leaves are still on the trees, though colorful, so I'm glad that it is just a small flaking. Usually, this time of year, we get a branch-stripper storm or two. But that makes it official: time to start wearing long pants and socks again. Sigh...
yesterday's (i was out of commission) plus still trying to organizize my e. sierra pics, which do have some color, even though generally "alpine".
Good luck with the plumbing, far from my favorite task.
Thanks for the Ramsey Lewis, his stuff always had a certain bounce to it, helps with the "get your ass up and face the day" perspective.

Prickly pear prickly pear
Here we go round the prickly pear
At five o’clock in the morning.
except for the minor details that is is already 08:01 and not 5, and our yard has some Maguey but no Prickly Pear.
be well and have a good one

Was Lula doing the west’s bidding by keeping Venezuela out of BRICS? Will it be reversed when he leaves office? I hope so.

A friend ate a cheeseburger from Whattaburger for lunch Saturday. Monday morning, the digestive games began. The dr. says she has e-coli.
Be careful about eating fast food!

...in less than 15 minutes, with no explanation. They call that conclusory agency decision making. All they do is list all the proof and legal documents you must submit to appeal the claim determinations divided into separate categories and subject to three different appeals processes. Why should they have to give an explanation or cite a regulation? Due process? You can appeal there's your f...ing due process. Like a person whose home is ruined and needs to be repaired has time to submit the Magna Carta for some help recovering transitional costs from a disaster. You have to guess why they denied your claim. There is a marked difference in the demeanor and attitude of inspectors. It's a railroad job. The inspector was at my home for nine minutes and acted put upon the whole time.

You must be pretty pissed.
We are victims of our institutions.
Blackmail seems to be only thing
they understand. A curse upon their house.
Sorry soryang.

Sorry you couldn't request as an illegal immigrant.
I am actually seeing that preferential treatment for local flooding victims.
What a crappy program.
So sorry, friend.

Hey now

A bit lite on the political commentary construction today.
Blame it on the weather or bathroom renovation chores.
Your choice.

Our colors are amazing considering...
the drought. I love walking in the woods this time of year.
Hope the renovation is going well. Thanks for the OT.

No fall colors here at all.
