Happy Veterans Day

 TWIT and I would like to wish everyone who served in the military a very happy Veterans Day, especially to my favorite veteran, the Old Man.  He proudly served in the Navy during the Korean War. 

Thank you all for your service.

Mullet Watch

 After getting gas at Kroger this a.m., I ran in to pick up two things I missed at my recent weekly shopping trip, and boy am I glad I did.  I spotted a first: husband and wife mullets.  I am assuming they were husband and wife, but they could have just been a couple, or just friends; regardless, each of them had a mullet.  Hers was peroxide blonde and curly in the back; his was gray, and slightly wavy in the back.  I have to say I sure was impressed. 

Whatever Happened To . . .

 Whatever happened to payday loan places?  Back in the day, there was at least one on every block in the entire city.  They were everywhere.  Now, I don't see any of them.  Most of the places that used to have a payday loan place is now a smoke shop, Mexican restaurant or nail place.  

My Faith Is Restored,, A Little

I had to take a friend to yet another eye doctor appointment this morning, and on the way to pick her up and then get back home, I saw 4 people taking down political signs in yards.  Normally, they stay out in the grass until they just down.  I compliment those people this morning.  

We All Know What Day This Is

 I am so thankful for nice weather today on Election Day.  And it does my old heart good to hear about long lines of people waiting to get in to vote.  Regardless of your political party, I am happy that people care enough about their country to get out and vote.  

Thank You, Daylight Savings Time

 TWIT and I would like to thank you, Daylight Savings Time, for an extra hour of sleep last night.  I went to bed at 10:00, which would have been at my normal 11:00, and slept until 8:00 this morning.  The Old Man did the same, too.  We are well rested and haven't napped today.

Welcome, November

 TWIT and I would like to welcome November.  Other than the three days of rain in October from the hurricane, October wasn't too bad.  We had beautiful and warm weather most of the month.  

We started out November a bit cool yesterday and today, but as I type this it is 63 here at The Compound,  I just want to keep on seeing the sunshine.
