- Well, the wind blew, and the crap flew, but we’re only here for a day or two.
- Apparently we need to be on the lookout for old women on bikes and flying monkeys tonight.
- Surprisingly, we didn’t have any kids come to the door for trick-or-treat. Of course, they’d have to be absolute barbarian cannibal trick-or-treaters to brave the weather for some fruit bites, but any that made it were promised rewards beyond comprehension if they succeeded.
- Actually getting out of the cubicle and into the computer room was a lot of fun. I must try to do it more often.
- Having to keep the TV tuned to the local station so we can get weather alerts is quite painful.
- Seriously, do people actually watch this dreck?
- After watching the Saturday Night Live Halloween special, I’m pretty sure zombie John Belushi is pissed about the last 25 years or so.
- I’d tune the radio to a good AM station so that any warnings come through that way, but I don’t want to drift off to sleep listening to people call in about chem trails, black helicopters, and pickle recipes.
- Finished listening to the latest Hardcore History episode. Dan Carlin never picks small subjects, does he?
- I’m laying odds that he has to do a mega-episode next July to get the series done before the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I.
- Giving yourself arthritis medicine with an auto-injector isn’t as much fun as it sounds.

/ November 1, 2013So a long time ago…
There was this dweeb in our neighborhood. Not a really bad sort, just not the brightest streetlight in the city. Halloween is approaching and we’re shooting the shit about whose windows are going to get soaped, who is going to TP whose yard, and be careful of Old Man Schwartz because he says he’s loaded up some rock salt and he’s going to let fly. So the dweeb, we’ll call him Keith, decides to get an early start and after dark but before bed check he sees that Old Man Schwartz has all his lights out. So he goes up and rings the front door bell, but no one answers. Ha! No one is home!
Now, the old boy doesn’t move as fast as he used to, so it takes a while to get to the front door. When he does finally get there, he opens the door – and finds Keith merrily decorating the storm door with a bar of soap.
“Keith? What’s all this?”
We had a good time watching Keith wash windows the next day.

/ November 1, 2013Jack – I’ve known a few people like that. Like the bluntskull who tried to rappel down the side of our barracks in Monterey using clothesline and a Masterlock to make his swiss seat.
NFO – Too right. LG&E reported that a few thousand customers lost power. I need to get a decent weather radio that runs on batteries. The little walkie-talkies we use have a weather radio feature, but you can’t fine tune it.
