Since it is that time of year I want to wish anyone who reads my drivel to have a happy and safe Halloween. None of the partying as portrayed in the picture... FOAM. I tell you, those Germans and their beer. Not everyone can be saintly like the Irish I guess.

Update on Chery and my aches and pains. Cheryl is having shoulder surgery on November 5 but we lucked out, if you can call it that, in that she is having arthroscopic not actually cutting. It seems her should is full of arthritis and bone spurs that are cutting into the muscle. While it is true she has a torn rotator cuff it is not of such that she needs to have it repaired. She just has to be a good girl for a change and do what the doctors tell her to do. Too often she thinks she is macho woman and can do more than she should.

This coming Tuesday I visit the surgeon to see what needs to be done to my back...again. Will keep any who are interested updated.

It has turned cold but lovely here. The nights are quite cold but by afternoon it is shirtsleeve weather. The deer are migrating from the mountains which makes it scary for driving. I only need to kill three more and I am an ace. (It takes six) Not exactly the kind of honor I am looking for but............

Tomorrow I get to take the bus to beautiful downtown Salt Lake City, UT, hell hole of Utah, and pick up FFA students returning from the east. Oh joy, oh joy. I tried to beg off but the boss would not hear of it. He seems to think I have experience for that sort of thing.

Foam how are the eyes coming along? Haven't heard from Pamela for some time so hope she is fine.

Oops got to go.

Have a nice day everyone.
