I had a birthday getaway...a cardiac event...automobile expense for the Behemer that depleted our bank account like a bad dog...and hmm, MSN is up to new trickery, with no treats attached. AND the US economy tanked. A sucky, scary month indeed. I can't understand how gas prices keep coming down but I'm at least enjoying that for however long it will last.
The ambulance/hospital bills have started rolling in, and we've had to turn the furnace on, despite the moderately nice days we're having. As happy an event as payday will be, I'm not looking forward to my next visit to the Quack. I have felt the tug of a thread tightening up and he's never been any comfort to me so far.
Anyway I opened a Yahoo group... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/craicer_bits/ and another kind of stupid one I don't even want to post about until I know more about the site.
So, I'M NOT THE ONE WHO'S LOST

Fascinating old structure
I just love this derelict building. I've heard it was a church or a school; it sits on a little knoll just off the highway to St. Maries. I finally had the time to stop and get some photos of it on my last smoke run.

I found this on the Emigrant Ireland board...
Finally, a voice against the clueless, classless hockey mom. HIGH TIME TOO!! I'm off today to register to vote, even if my vote turns out to be meaningless.

Legends of Fall...
One of my all time favorite songs; of course nobody ever sang it better than Sinatra, but this vid has the colorful slide show, and a couple of greats who don't do a bad job.
It's grey and blustery and pretty cool here today. Trees leaning with the wind, but it hasn't snapped cold enough to really drop the leaves yet. It won't be long now though. The leaves that have come down are quivering and flipping about on the green lawn.
A nice pot of Autumn Soup might make a good dinner. It's made with hamburger and whatever veg you have on hand, with a tomato base. I have a bunch of assorted veggies that need to get eaten, so the menu is set...maybe I'll make biscuits ...er...DUMPLINGS might be better.
A friend called yesterday... has a beef heart and some fresh liver for me...a friend of hers butchered the other day; I'll pick that up tonight. It's a good thing I have food on my mind or I'd have forgotten. We LOVE liver n' onions n' bacon...fortunately we don't get to eat it often, as it's not on Himself's dietary DO list, but if once a year is too often, what's the point of living at all.
We're probably going to miss the debate, as it's pool league practice...there's plenty of time to throw the soup together before we leave for that...and it will be a nice warm welcome home. I know who I want to win the election so it doesn't much matter what either of them say now. It would take a bombshell to change my mind at this stage.
The saddest thing to me is the number of people who are gullible enough to vote for Sarahcuda.
ARGHHH there I go...spoiling a perfectly good mood.

Neighbor Jack just brought me an oversized lattice top crusted Apple Pie from his weekly visit to Costco in town! He's always bringing some caloric treat over...sweet man that he is...
Apple pie is my favorite pastry...and I happen to have some very good French Vanilla ice cream in the freezer too. WOW, it's gonna be a real harvest feast tonight. I don't know why we bothered to go to MT for an overpriced, undercooked meal, ...I'm a far better cook than we found over there, and I can do it a helluva a lot cheaper and for sure better tasting, especially when a friend furnishes the dessert! LOL
