Happy Halloween

 

Another Summer Day

 As I type this, it is 80 degrees here at The Compound and the sky is as blue as it could be.  We've been fortunate for almost three weeks we haven't had any rain.  The weatherazzi is calling for rain on Halloween night - unfortunate for the trick-or-treaters.  But as for us, we will enjoy this sunshine until it ends. 

Cousin Coincidence

 I know personally how friends and family will stretch the truth a bit and claim they are related to a famous person.  I also know personally two friends who are truly closely related to a famous person.  Both of them have very famous first cousins.  A friend of mine from ZCO is first cousin to the current famous Dodgers player Mookie Betts.  Another good friend of mine from my BSF group is first cousin to Johnny Depp.  I think that is way beyond cool. 

Sunday Updates

 It was a busy and stressful weekend here so far at The Compound.  I've got a lot on my plate right now (not intending to use an overused phrase) and it has been distracting me and causing me to not sleep well. 

I prayed about it last night, and asked friends to pray about it, and I feel better today.  Just hoping for a good, stress-free week for me and the Old Man.  That's all I can ask for. 

Flashback Friday

 Back in the 70s, there were lots of epic disaster movies - Airport, Earthquake, The Poseidon Adventure, and Towering Inferno to name a few.  Today, you don't need to spend $87 for a movie ticket to see disasters; all you need to do is turn on the nightly news. 

Current Overused Phrases

Quote Of The Century

 Overheard on a western movie the Old Man was watching this afternoon, and I quote:

"Anytime you own something, you got trouble."
