Boring it is not ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Today's randomness was twofold. One conversation started out with the words: "I've got a funny story about Aristophanes," the other started out with, "Hey, Bess, guess what this is," as the speaker handed me a racoon penis bone. ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif)

Life in these United States:
Statement from the granddaughter (aged 5)
She is counting down to Thanksgiving by listing what she is thankful for. Today's item was:
"I am thankful to President Obama for giving us God, and spying on us."
Her access to television news is now banned.

Daw! yeah.... more Sesame Street, less news network!
not allowed to be paranoid until you're at least old enough to vote. *looks around furtively*
speaking of paranoia....
At rehearsal tonight one of the other cast members told us about a bear trying to break into her house while she was in there, and the walls actually moving from his effort. I'm sitting there, all relaxed, thinking, "aw, poor thing! you'll be fine, blah blah blah..."
When I drove home, she was behind me all of the way, I thought she was following me. then she drove right past and pulled into her driveway.... two driveways down from mine!
well, shit. now I'm going to be jumping at every noise all night.
Hello?!?!? it is November! isn't it WAY past their bedtimes?

Speaking of wildlife: I was waked by the dog yipping and whining, then realized the bigger noise was turkeys. The closest-sounding one was squawking and gobbling really loud, and sounded very close.
I wasn't quick enough to see Tom in action, but I saw the hen-flock panic and take off when I tiptoed out through the back yard. Turks are very sensitive. When they spring up to fly away the noise is huge. And they look huge too.
I love it when a flock wanders through. Not so much for the semi-domestic deer.

We don't observe Daylight Savings Time in Arizona, so the event passed without our notice. I did, however, used to enjoy the "extra hour" on Saturday night when I lived in a different time zone.

The raccoon kit we rescued in late August has been cleared for release by the wildlife rehabilitator. So this afternoon we will go pick him up and take him across the James River to a friend's place in Surry County. They have several acres of woods and fields so he should do OK there.
At first they will put puppy chow out for him until he gets settled in and starts finding his own food.
Anyway, I am bursting with maternal pride even though the wildlife rehabilitator did the actual work of looking after him up until now and my friends will be looking after him from now on.

But with the wildlife around your place, I'm guessing it would be easy - you are good with feral cats. ![[Angel]](graemlins/angel.gif)

An old friend of JB's went home to glory on Saturday and they had a graveside service today. He was 93 and were married to over 60 years. On their last anniversary, they both wore their wedding clothes and could still fit into them!
The man's wife sang him to sleep every night, singing, "Goodnight Sweetheart" to him. She did the same song to him at the end, too. Up until 3 years ago were skiing and hiking! (we should all be this strong!) They were thrilled that after a certain age they had free lift tickets at local ski areas.

I made 12 jars of jams and jellies today for the upcoming church annual Christmas sale. I am pooped making jelly for Jesus, but the house smells wonderful and the jars look so pretty, well worth it.
Next comes cookies, and angels. I love looking at all the home made stuff on display, but the days I do it I have second thoughts.
I will sleep well tonight.

About 4 PM I felt a big bang throughout the house, like someone slammed a door shut. I ran downstairs and confirmed that it wasn't in fact someone slamming a door, it was an earthquake-- but really weird, not much rattling, just that big thump.
Turned out it was a smallish magnitude quake that just happened to have its epicenter right under our feet-- USGS called it directly in the five-or-six block unincorporated area in which I live.

One of the ladies in our choir has established a cookie exchange party as part of the festive round - this year she wants us to bring 12 dozen cookies each. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) Sadly, none of us has the nerve to tell her that the whole thing is a monumental faff that we could well do without.
The upshot is that we all end up with about 70 wee buns, 40 of which we probably won't like. I'm planning to try and resurrect a recipe that my mum used to make called Tiffin, which was scrummy when she made it, but may be rather less so when I do ... ![[Disappointed]](graemlins/disappointed.gif)

She will insist on inviting more and more people - she loves cooking and entertaining, and her motto seems to be "the more the merrier".
It's become so big she doesn't hold it in her house any more - she uses the Cathedral crypt, which can be easily re-arranged for large parties.

Too. Much. Shit. And none of it pays. at least, not even minimum wage. So, all this stress, PLUS the stress of finding income. I'm going to go hide in a corner and cover my ears and say "la la la!" until all the needy little dickheads in the world shrivel up and blow away.
PS - winter finally got here. roads are exciting and my toes are cold. otherwise, biz as yoozh.

I wish I could have done that "avoiding reality" thing today. Today we turned on the fireplace and darn does this new firebox throw out some heat! Wooohoo!
We had painting in the living room, moving bricks, cleaning, making Cock-a-leekie soup, doing 4 loads of clothes, doing a load of dishes, and a trip to the dump. Sadly this is my reality, Bess. I wish avoidance was possible.
And then, there was this gorgeous sunset after the rain and snow today, which made life all worth living. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
I now need a good shower now, lots of Advil and a long, long sleep. then tomorrow? well, there is more work to do. ![[brick wall]](graemlins/brick_wall.gif)

UGH, what a day.
A couple of weeks ago, a buddy of mine asked me a another boy to help her move. "Just a dresser, bed, table and couple of chairs," was all she said she had. Luckily, I also roped the ex and his girl friend into helping, as well as bringing a second trailer, because it turned into: 3 chests of drawers, a queen-sized matress & box spring, bed frame (that won't fit the matress btw), a loveseat, a recliner, a big-ass rocking chair,a computer desk and chair, a hutch, a table and chairs, a TV, and the world's heaviest fridge. Now, all this stuff was in five different places, so this turned from a quick hour or so helping someone out into an all freaking-morning ordeal. And several pieces of furniture smelled like someone had recently died on them. And did I mention that this ole girl has never, ever, ever, had an unspoken thought? She talks non-stop about nothing. Bless her.
I've got to learn to start saying "NO" LOL

We've had some weird weather here lately. Warn, then cool, then cold, then warm, with the odd nasty storm thrown in for good measure. I used to think the weather in South Florida was odd, but it wasn't anything compared to West Tennessee.
In our house, we're praying for rain. Duck season starts in 8 days and we need water at our blind.

Yesterday Mr Image and I spent the day waiting in doctor offices. Just routine check up kind of things which in themselves took about 15 minutes max but required almost 3 hours waiting time between the two. I hate it when you arrive on time for your visit and you wait for about 15 minutes then they take you back to the exam room where you wait for 45 minutes more. We both came home tired? Funny how doing nothing can wear a body out. I am ready for a restful day of working around the house.

Some very nice students came and raked my leaves the other day. They had sent around a flyer saying that they were eager to do yard work for free. They would also gratefully accept checks made out to the cancer society, but they would rake your leaves whether you donated or not.
I do like the students here. With a small number of exceptions they are very polite and eager to help.

The great snow storm which hit over the whole state is finally gone. Motherboard and I missed church on Sunday and many places just cancelled services altogether. Schools are either cancelled or on delay today..
Watch out anyone east of us, this is heading your way the day before Thanksgiving. It is going to be a mess!

Got the tail of that storm here, sleet, cold, rain and yuck, but no major weather issues.
So today, while it's rainy and sleeting and cold and yuck outside, I've got two dear friends who are working in Florida, texting me pics of beaches, and seafood, and sending me sounds of surf on the sand.... Grrr... I'd at least better get some fresh seafood when they get back on Wednesday LOL

On the weather radar map, I can see the storm heading towards us. It's supposed to start around midnight, and the icy part is supposed to be over by noon. Then it's supposed to rain buckets.

York PA - we alternated between rain & sleet yesterday. By bedtime it was all ice pelting on my roof, which drives my little blind dog crazy, which he is close to anyway.
Warmer this morning. Church at 10 tomorrow, and then Thanksgiving Dinner at the Rector's place, which will be posh I'm sure.
Be careful all ye who drive on slippery highways and byways.

Turkey's in brine - check. Cornbread and biscuits made and crumbed for dressing - check. Eggs boiled for deviled eggs - check. I'm pooped and I haven't even really started cooking yet.
Last year, we had about 25 people come eat Thanksgiving Dinner with us at the bar and I'm expecting about the same number this year. I do love cooking for a crowd, but I'm glad I don't have to do it very often...
Happy feasting everyone, and safe travels for all those going over the river and through the woods to grandmothers house...

We are supposed to be in the low 40's tomorrow morning. Thank goodness that will only last one night! After all the extra heat this month, most of us are looking forward to the coolness. Well, yeah, freezing coldness would be a better description. (I remember the Blessed Erin whining when it got cold!)
My Thanksgiving tomorrow will be very different. For the first time in a quarter of a century, I'm not cooking dinner. There are only three of us able to come, so we're going out.
Bet they won't give me the carcass to make soup. *whine*

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. We're going up to Connecticut to spend the day with cousins.

Wishing all our American chums a happy Thanksgiving, and safe travelling for those going hither and thither.
I could exhort you not to eat too much, but that wouldn't be very kind, would it?
