Gator Country

Sorry about not getting this weekly installment out last week. I was too busy pouring the fuel on my UGA hatred, ala re-watching last year’s game, more-than-enough “Incident” articles, and general backstory on the Poodle’s treatment of my fine Gators over the years. Had I written a blog it probably would’ve looked something like this –



in lesser, far more derogatory words, of course.

there it is. eight years later. don't want to wax too political, but i've been fighting this one for eight years. no kidding. but i had bad feelings, visceral feelings, about the current white house occupant from his arrival on the national scene. i never felt like that about any member of the opposing party, honestly, not ever. i may not have agreed with them on everything, but there used to be SOME things i could agree with them about. then they got hijacked. and i know its not just my opinion,...

well no trick or treaters as usual. well actually i don't know. i wasn't here til 7:30 and its over by then anyhow.
i think i mentioned that last time. halloween. the sorta forgotten holiday. i mean, oh yes, its THERE, its not forgotten, not by any stretch. commercialized, oh you can buy such cool stuff to decorate with. you can buy witches that look like they crashed into a tree in your yard, and cackles when it senses movement nearby. we can buy plug in jack o'lanterns that almost look...

this is short, mainly to remind myself i had something to say about the demise of halloween, but having worked on my page till i had gotten some damn palm trees in that lower right corner of the page...to fill that bothersome emptiness...it is now 1:26 am. cst. so its time for bed. i'll revisit this topics, and continue wondering...wtf happened to halloween as we knew it. when people went out trick or treating, sans parents, streets loaded with kids...well, till tomorrow.

the typical october night. steady soft rain, temperature heading down from 55, to eventually 41. (still, the fern's ok with that, and the water and humidity will be nice. i like to leave it out as long as humanly possible before resigning it to a life in the musky basement near a small basement window, and a little 60 watt bulb action),
but it'll be sunny and 55-60, breezy. by the time, hopefully, i head out the door, its that time of year when bits of damp leaves get tracked into your home...
