I couldn't resist... he's too handsome not to publish!
Okay, questioning my sanity, well... I do that a lot anyway but past few weeks have been so fricking bizarre! I'm taking a giant step into the past for this one! When I was a kid Halloween meant two things, first; Our costumes were made by my Mom; some specifically, (say... a princess) some, "Go look in the basement for those antlers if you want to be a deer."
But one thing was done, without fail... our costumes were made to be worn over winter coats and/or snowmobile suits. That's because here in The-Not-So-Great-White-North the sidewalks had usually been shoveled at least once before Halloween.
Yesterday was Halloween... our high was fricking 68 DEGREES!!
There were kids wandering around in the skimpy store-bought nylon costumes!
I must confess that it is beyond frightening for me to realize that I have reached that stage of my life where I can say, "When I was a kid...." (Yeah... that one still makes my temples throb!) But seriously! This was kinda scary... the weather patterns are so screwed up.
I find it interesting that it's been "Green Week" where everyone has been touting their environmental efforts. (On TV and advertisements) Gee... guess someone shoulda' been doing this about 10 or 15 years ago, eh?!
At least today there was some small measure of change... the high today was only 54 degrees. Get the long johns out!
Life has just gotten so strange... especially with Congress deciding to change when Daylights Savings Time changes back. They can't figure out how to get prescription drug coverage to the elderly but they can vote to change "falling back".
Sad... just really fricking sad.
