FOR THE PAST 47 YEARS, OCTOBER 19TH HAS BEEN A SPECIAL FOR ME

Dressed warmly against the evening's encroaching cold Saturday night, I walked along my country road as the setting sun slowly sizzled into Lake Huron far to the west of me. No sweeping magnificent clouds, just an orange glow sweeping up into the clear sky.  Following my walk, it was into Clinton for my Hortons coffee to go and a slow drive through the countryside to my starry night viewing spot.  However, with a bright half Moon in the sky, not as many stars were visible.  I did manage to see two satellites, two aircraft, and one farmer with lights on his tractor, probably working his bean field somewhere off in a darkened field to the east.

Ten years ago today, Kelly, Pheebs and I piled into the Motorhome and headed for a longer-than-usual journey to our beloved Southwest.  We stopped in Spencerport, New York at Kelly's Mom's for a few days, and then headed south to Sarasota, Florida to visit with my Aunt Jean, before eventually heading west.  Here's a link to my post for that first travel day.... Bayfield To Spencerport, New York

With Monday being October 19th, I will once again include a link to a post I wrote years ago about how on this date, with the help of many newfound friends, I turned my life around and have never looked back.  I Have Now Been Sober 47 Years

At a meeting, the Boss told a joke.
Everyone on the team laughed except one guy. The Boss asked him, 'Didn’t you understand my joke?' The guy replied, 'Oh I understood it, but I resigned this morning.'
