November is around the corner. 🍂 The colors are rapidly fading, the nights are growing long, the politicians are doing their thing, the tricker-treaters and manure spreaders their thing too. The woods soon will be full of the sounds of rifle fire, and the chill of winter and snow will be flying shortly.

Good Morning! Happy Guy Fawks Day! 🔥

Always good to burn shit, though maybe not right now especially in Pennsylvania or the Hudson Valley. But all the Pennsylvania rednecks disappointed, should not dispair, there is more time to collect up debris for an even bigger bonfire come Black Friday, with hopefully not too much black smoke. That and maybe you should consider voting?

At any rate, happy last voting day. 🗳I am just glad that I don’t have to deal with voting today, it’s a decision I made over six weeks ago now, long ago sent in the mail 📮, put in the custody of the USPS mailbox and according to state board website, recieved and scanned in. 📨 It will get tabulated and counted at 9 PM tonight. And then we can move on from Election Day.

Today is a state holiday for me, 😃 though it’s back to work tomorow. Things soon will be picking up. Thursday I have my dental cleaning 🦷 and I’m thinking of taking the balance of Thursday off — actually all of Thursday and Friday off — and heading off to the wilderness for a long weekend ending on Veterans Day. 🏕 It would be a fun weekend.

Afternoon at Dolly Sods

After a rather cloudy morning at Dolly Sods, things cleared out. Exploring the western part of sods is interesting, it is much more like around Canaan Heights then the eastern portion which is mostly heath barren.
