POSITIVE AND WELCOME CHANGES FOR THE MOST PART

With a cold east wind blowing, I cut my walk short this morning.  There ain't no Alaskan Mountain Man in this guy.  With today's cold east wind and 51°F mid-October morning feeling cold to me, this same windy, cold morning in the middle of January would feel like a pleasantly mild and rather wonderful day.  Funny how that works, eh.............. Our catch-and-release mouse score now stands at 6 to 1, with 5 little mouses caught and released, and one mouse that jumped out of the pail before I could get the lid on.  And, he landed right on my foot too! When I chauffeur these little fellers to their new digs and release them, I always wish the little guys well and leave them a few shelled peanuts.  The catch-and-release traps Woodsie found online are called, Lulu Catch.  And, here's a tip.....if you use one of these, don't leave the mouse in it for a prolonged period of time because they will eventually saw a hole in the plastic and be on their way.  And don't ask me how I know that.

Woodsy and Monica went shopping in Goderich today, and it was a good thing we had two Subarus between us because Monica's wouldn't start.  My Subaru was still warmed up from my drive earlier, so off they went.  I have a battery charger here, so I hooked that up and charged Monica's Subaru battery, and then took her car for a drive down to the end of Bayfield River Road and back to make sure the battery had a good charge on it.  All is now good once again.  And Monica even came home with a new pair of winter boots today as well:))

Rather than head outside to rip and tear around the yard again today, I decided my body needed a rest, so I dispensed with any outside activities and just kinda vegged out inside where it was cozy, relaxing, and toasty warm.  Needed that.  With nights steadily becoming colder now, it's not likely that I will be out for many more night drives to my night sky viewing spot.  I am so much going to miss those special nights with coffee in hand, cruising along slowly with my favorite music on and windows down. And Subie's Moon roof open under an overhead canopy of diamond-like stars with frogs and crickets serenading me along the way.  These magical nights are winding down now because I just don't like being outside at night in the freezing cold.  But, with the way things have been shifting and changing in my mind these past few years, just about anything is possible, and I'll have to keep an inquisitive eye on those mindful modifications.  Positive and welcome changes for the most part...... It was late afternoon when Woodsy headed back to her place in Stratford for a few days, and I will miss her.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Snow White received a camera as a gift. She happily took pictures of the Dwarfs and their surroundings. When she finished her first batch she took the film to be developed. After a week or so she went to get the finished photos. The clerk said the photos were not back from the processor. Needless to say, she was disappointed and started to cry. The clerk, trying to console her, said, "Don't worry. Someday your prints will come".

When I was married, my wife used to call me handsome. As a matter of fact, we are now divorced but she still calls me handsome. Every time I have some money, she says, handsome over.

A man approached a very beautiful woman in the large supermarket and said, I've lost my wife here in the supermarket; can you talk to me for a couple of minutes?" "Why?" asked the woman. "Because every time I talk to a beautiful woman, my wife appears out of nowhere."

On a speaking tour, a prominent politician was pleased and proud that the local sandwich shop in a town he was visiting had named a sandwich after him.

He was somewhat less pleased after he found out what was in it. "Mostly baloney," said the proprietor.

A man went into a restaurant and asked for crab. When the waiter brought it, the man objected, "Just a minute, that crab only has one claw!" "Yes, said the waiter, it was in a fight."
"Well," said the man, "Bring me the winner then!"
