So it's Columbus Day

And we're still walking.

Absolutely nothing on the front page of the Norwich Bulletin today to remind the readers that it's Columbus Day. I may have to fore go getting that ridiculous paper. It aggravates me to just think of how asinine it is. There is no respite from the inanity.

Another frost and 31 degrees this morning! That should really take care of my flowers! It is crisp, bright and gorgeous out. We'll go flying this afternoon when the sun isn't at such a slant that Puppy's Pop has trouble keeping track of his plane. I walked without a jacket yesterday and was almost too cold! Yikes! It's only October 12! I wish the "Climate Change" would help us out a bit up here in New England.

Cooked up Mother Nature's Wild Rice for supper last night. It was delicious and easy to do: wild rice, celery, peppers, chicken bouillon, water, salt and popped it in oven to bake. Along with a ham steak. Delicious.

Went on line to let the Post Office know that we'll be gone for a week and also canceled the paper. I've watered the porch plants and put them on the sun porch because I'm not sure they'll survive mornings around here. Of course we'll probably have 60 degree nights while we're gone!

Alaska has nothing on us. We have two bridges to nowhere in Connecticut. They'll never finish Route 11. Keep running out of money; paper work keeps piling up; the environment isn't conducive to road building; but we have two bridges that just sit above roads that can't be used. It's only been 30 years. What the heck. The bridges will probably be repaired soon with stimulus money and they will still lead to nowhere! Pretty neat!
