Whoa--sounds like winter is getting there early. I pulled out a fleece sweatshirt jacket that I sometimes put on when I get the paper.

I have a kitchen boom box I'm loaning to my next door neighbor for the cake walk at the Halloween festival down a city hall.

Early voting starts today. I think I'll do that at lunch and cross it off my list of "things that absolutely positively must be done!"
What a distinct pleasure this trip will be!
