Halloween...November...Geostorm...Book Review...and Other Things

Or as Aiden sung most of the night

"This is Halloween..Halloween...Halloween!"
(ala The Nightmare Before Christmas)

A wonderful night! With Brenden as The Scream...Hannah as The Zombie Prom Queen...Emma as a Gypsy and Aiden hamming it up as Ironman.



Nicole and I.

Amazing dinner...a zillion trick or treaters...and no snow this year (which was a plus) although it was still plenty cold!












Still nibbling on Shel's Nutter-Butter Mummies and Chocolate Dipped Pretzels. Pinterest is a wonderful thing!

So good with hot tea!

Now it's





and the leaves seem to have browned overnight. Everything falling in earnst now...and the cold mornings and nights to remind us that Winter is Coming.

The frost is no longer just on the pumpkin.  The pumpkin is frozen to the patio.

Enjoyed

the other night.

The very opening (...even for me...and I believe in Global Warming...) seemed a bit preachy, but stick around past it...trust me.

Basically a "what happens when global weather control falls into the wrong hands" (...played with resounding evil and very convincingly by Ed Harris...) where it becomes weaponized.

Excellent Film!

A MUST SEE.

This week's book



is also an ODD and (in some circles) unpopular book about mass extinctions, adaptation and the continuation of evolution today.

Very well researched and straight-forward it offers another perspective on current species extinction...and will give you something to think about for a long long time.

Interesting theories.

Well worth the read.

After a blockbuster start to the week with Mueller's twin indictments...the second shoe finally dropped

and it is HUGE.

It seems George Papadopolous has been running amongst the Washington Set (READ:Trump Administration) wired for sound...for THREE months.

OMFG!

Can you even imagine.

Mueller has set up a website so we can see indictments and charges as they happen

https://www.justice.gov/sco

and reportedly there are 4 new sealed indictments coming soon

My money is on Flynn, Kushner, Carter Page, and maybe even Sessions.

We will see.

It is sad when there are so many in one Administration worthy of Indictment that you literally have to GUESS who the next batch will be...and may be completely wrong.

This week's Polar Facepalm


Goes to General John Kelly...for his statement concerning Robert Lee and the Confederacy.

Calling Bobby Lee an "Honorable Man" and the Civil War just "A Failure in Negotiations"

...seriously???? Because I am thinking there was probably a whole bunch of SLAVES at that time who probably had a completely different take on the entire affair...and I am not sure that succession and treason to your country makes you so honorable...maybe it is just me. 

WTH???

And the bright glimmer of hope through it all this week





Donald Trump has mentioned 4 times that he may not seek re-election in 2020...if he is THAT wore down already, by the time shit gets REALLY REAL he  will probably RESIGN.

That is my HAPPY THOUGHT!
