Welcome to the end of the spooky season.
Tux-Kitty curled up on my chest for the entire night...to save me from the DEMON PUMPKIN.
He growled, hissed and spat at it last night...so it is going outside on the patio today.
Hard to believe tomorrow is November!
Watched all the old specials...
And enjoyed some new.
Enjoying some peace and quiet and maybe a caramel apple!
Have a wonderful (and safe) Halloween!

...the election is in 5 days...
The Black Locust tree is fully orange...the Blue Jays seemed to have lost their war with the Crows and moved on...the yard is dotted with cawing black crows waiting impatiently for the farm across the way to bring in the last of the horse-corn...and I bought a bag of apples yesterday which is sitting on my oak table scenting the whole house...
also a fat orange pumpkin.
It seems to be the bane of Tux-Cat's existance.
He has jumped on it twice...and also swatted it furiously.
Claws out.
Wait until it is carved and a candle inside!
John is better...tolerating the chemo pretty well...fighting the battle of The Spots...and we watched Week 7 Games together.
Both our teams lost...
We're waiting on this week.
And now only The Vikings remain undefeated.
...even saying that seems vaguely wrong...
McRibs are back!
It is certainly the spooky season for the GOP, this year. I've already voted early...but it is shaping up to be an absolute bloodbath!!!
...and we're here to watch...
More later...
That's right...this is month 24...we can survive this.
And every day we can do better!
For the past month we have seen:
...more servicemen and women die...a new press secretary who only lasted half a Scaramucci...giving rise to the Zach which is 5 days...votes already being flipped in red states...it's not a bug but a feature...prices through the roof...a big bruise on the President's head...did he fall...did he hit it...how could you even tell??? Ramaswamy using the estranged Mother of his rival to smear her...finding out that his rival had been raped by the mother's boyfriend and removed from her home at 12...and he and Trump and JD all doubled down on the smear...
and more.
Only 24 more months to go...
Chris is 37...
Kansas is now 5-0!!!
And they just fired Colt's GM, Chris Ballard...
woo-hoo!!!!!
John just finished his chemo for the week...and is feeling pretty good.
The spots are still itchy but lessening.
And I found Apex.

Excellent.
Edge of your seat thriller!
And only a few of the USUAL SUSPECTS remain.
Still eating.
#903-Gully...#151 Walker...#602 Flotato
Fall is here, as well.
Woke this morning to the fresh peach color of an early morning sunrise...surprisingly the chirps of a couple of robins who still haven't left...and the cacophony of a civil war between the permanent resident Blue Jays and the seasonal but numerous Crows.
...the jays were seriously pissed, but outnumbered...
...the crows were loud and obnoxious...
Aren't they always?
Needless to say, nobody can sleep through bird wars...and I am UP.
Feel a bit like a toddler who has learned to tie her shoes, this morning.
Back on Microsoft...instead of Linux...and got the screen freezing alert from McAfee...you know the one...grabs on and won't let go
"WE'RE ALL GOING TO FUCKING DIE!!!!"
Well, maybe if you click on it....but otherwise...no.
So proud of myself...don't laugh...went into settings...and notifications...and blocked the goddamn thing.
...I said don't laugh....remember, I am old and new at this...
Teching While Elderly.
John, decided he didn't have enough problems, and ended up with a serious side of shingles to accompany his cancer.
Spots.
Sore...then scabby.
ITCHY!
We're making progress, though. Managing the pain (cancer) pretty well now...the next round of chemo is this week...pills and OTC sprays to manage the itch of the shingles...a little weight loss, but not a lot...keeping a good appetite and even going to work-outs at rehab when he is up to it.
Hopeful...but taking it day by day.
And enjoying the Games together.
Week Five was BYE for my team, but Sunday his Colts played The Steelers.
Indiana Jones vs Aaron Rodgers
Although we did not win...it was a close and entertaining game.
...and I got to see Rodgers sacked twice...which made it all worthwhile...
Watched
ANIMALS
A candidate for LA mayor who finds himself in the middle of an ethical nightmare.
A lot of twists and turns.
People who aren't as good/innocent as they seem to be.
People who aren't as bad as you might have thought.
Humanity...stripped bare.
Edge of your seat!
Well worth a watch...
The night-time temps have dipped into the 40's with the first frost on its way. The humming- birds are gone, and noisy crows have taken their place. Leaves are slowly turning bright orange and scarlet.
It's my favorite time of year.
The bears are digging and getting ready for hibernation.
Backpack #89 won Fat Bear, this year.
Football helps.
Sunday was wonderful as we watched together as The Colts won in London...then possibly the best game of the season thus-far as the Chiefs won against the Raiders!
4-0 BABY!!!!!
Sunday was mostly football and food with a nap tossed in for good measure.
He did turn me onto a new 2026 movie.
A true study in human behaviorism.
Friendships are strained...people are killed...who can you trust?
Available on Netflix...which I immediately signed up for.......
Well worth the money!
Now, back to my Cinderella Day...

Here we are...our last day in Jamacia.
I'm really going to miss all this!
...if I had discovered Jamaica in my 20's I would have soooooooooooooooooooo moved here...
But, here we go...

One of the first signs you'll see is TRESSPASSERS WILL BE EATEN.

Swamp Safari

A little cramped and old.
A few hands on programs...which was nice.
A final souvenir.
