Ok - who squealed. Whoooo told Houston Ed, cuz I know he didn't figure this out on his own.
It's colder than a witches wart (tee hee) out there this morning. 29 this morning! Brrrrrr - it is enough to make a cat turn blue! ^~^

It's not often that I get to use the Pirate Smiley here, so I thought it would be a good day to dress up. So "Avast Ye Maties....Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."
Tharmeni, good to see you back. Hope all is well and you have a speedy recovery! Watching trains go by is a great way to relax!
CW, had some of the Hot Spiced Cider. It was excellent. Haven't had the courage to try the witch's brew yet, though. Don't want to be turned into a newt or anything!
Well, the snow managed to disappear from the forecast, and in its stead, we've got temps dipping well into the teens tonight. Now that's what I'm talking about! None of this 80ºF crud like yesterday!
Well, I suppose I must be on my way. Hope you all have a great time Trick-or-Treating!

And you think it's cold in Lincoln, Mookie? Right now we have 20 degrees in Sioux Falls, and with the wind blowing out of the NW at 9 mph, and gusting to 17 mph, it actually feels like 9 F. It's colder than a dead witch's titts here!!
HAPPY HOLLOWEEN TO ALL!! DON'T EAT TOO MUCH CANDY!

Morning all! I can tell by looking around here that something spooky's about! Some eggs and bacon sound great with some OJ. It's 33 F here this morning. I might have to scrape the frost off of the black cat that's roaming around the house.
Hey CW, will the diner be offering ToT hours this evening?
Dan

There is such a thing as a Kitchen Witch, and it is based on Norwegian folklore. My Mom used to have one hanging in one of her kitchen windows, and it was riding a broom stick. The purpose of the kitchen witch itself I think, was to bring good luck in the kitchen while cooking. Maybe Cherokee Woman should have one in the Diner - although her cooking is pretty good without it.

You know - this "hanging around" isn't too bad. Does kinda make me a little ditzy (er). I think I don't have it quite right! Think I am supposed to be laying on top of the beam, not hanging from it....
Wonder if I can make the hammock from here.....
LOOK OUT BELOW!
2 boo burgers and fries to go please. picked up matt from school and he still had his train outfit on(bibs and all) so we got some extra toots from the guys at csx as they were hauling the trains. as for brooms in the kitchen they can be very dangerous if you are caught snitching in the food.
stay safe

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
You'll have to excuse me for speaking so loudly. I have my son's three mini-dachsunds here and they raise Cain every time a trick-or-treater shows up.
I'll take a couple of those boo burgers and the fries, if Matt left any...

It's going to be a real cold one for the trick or treaters this evening. It's already in the mid 30s and we're looking at a low temperature of 20 degrees. If everything is perfect, we may even drop into the upper teens. Brrrr!
Hope everyone has a great Halloween evening!

She was ready to get to the "Heart" of the matter!!!!
[She let me borrow it to take the pic.,otherwise it was at the door,at the ready!!]
[Luckily we've not had to USE IT!!]
Larry,Jay;you can turn your Dog's volume down,our has been loud enough for all!!
OK - One holiday in the closet and next one out.
Checking the freezer we have "&" (turkey) sssss (tuffing) ooooo (cranberries) * * (my good earrings) Pi (pumpkin & pecan) nnnnnnnnn (whip cream) b (lost mitten) m m m (hot rolls that look like little bottoms) and - Kevin?
Well CW has it fully stocked for the next holiday. Maybe we should start early? Hmmm????
Tree - I would love to take one of those little guys off your hands. Maybe have a doggie library where I could check out a pet of the week?
Had to go gently suggest a new resting spot for a local cat - he looked like Garfield sitting on the fence right next to the bird feeder next door. Surprised he didn't have his mouth open with seeds in it!
14 little ones and someone left a piece of candy on our porch. Wasn't that nice of them?
mookie

As soon as I can scan the picture in, I'll share what my life was like last week. Five dogs. Daughter was tied up with wedding and honeymoon, so I had the Dalmatian. Son & DIL are moving from upper left coast to DC, and just this week are moving into their new house, so I have had their three mini-doxies. Plus my own pup (well, old pup). Not to mention Mom visiting for the week. I had a houseful.
The honeymooners are home, and so is the Dal. Looks like the DIL will be up Friday, planning to leave Saturday with the 3 little ones. Life will be back to normal!
I don't know how well the three of them would do as a lending library - they're pretty much a set, and keep track of each other. The female, however, is pretty much a lap dog, and if there's a lap available, you can count on her being in it.
Oh Gee,
My 13 year old daughter had two of her friends spend the night...after they scarfed up a pound or two of candy...all night long, whispering, giggling, talking...
Anyone know how to hook up an IV?.....I need a bag or two of coffee!

That's why they make parents young and durable. That's also why they age really fast, too!
Ed,
You might talk to the Mudchicken. During the summer months, he becomes an expert at pumping large quantities of Gatorade through an IV. I'm sure he could help you with yours...
Well, since I live all by my lonesome (the only house in an industrial area), I never get any Trick or Treaters. I never learn, either. Every year I buy candy and wait for someone to show up, and then every year I have to take care of the consumption of said candy also by myself. Hmmm...what can I say...
Sarah, it's funny that you mentioned your BDU story. I went to a JROTC high school back in IL, and one year I went in my Class A's to a Halloween party. Had a lot of similar reactions. Explaining that I was only in JROTC got to be almost a chore. It was kind of like when I had my certificate proclaiming that after graduation I was a Brevet 2LT in the Illinois National Guard, unassigned (and unpaid! ;-) ). I finally got tired of explaining that it was an honorary thing (given to all JROTC grads) that meant almost nothing (except that I could go into any branch of the service with a starting pay grade of E-3), so I finally took it down.
Well, guess I had better be about my business. Hope you all have a great day!
