Good Moanday morning all. Slept in until 7:30am (with two bladder breaks) and will head out shortly to do some tennis shoe shopping before the usual Jersey Mikes sammich. Nothing much else on the agenda, it’s 62F heading to near 80 later today and should stay the same until the rains return on Saturday night, according to the weather wizards. Need to dig out my car title, since once my ‘new’ car arrives I plan to sell this one to CarMax and that’s the major thing they need. Other than those things it should be a day of sloth and some gym time to fill the day.

A Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it.

**FCM** , Otis is no dummy, but has to learn you folks aren’t either. And a buffet style is probably for the best with that many people.

Never recall hearing of those, but they look pretty neat, may have to do some shopping of my own.

**Wheelie** , glad to hear that the traveling life isn’t wearing you down. Check in anytime.

True that. I vividly remember going into the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum many years ago, with the Wright Flyer suspended above the Apollo 11 capsule–and realizing only 63 years, well within one lifetime, had passed from one to the other.

**Taters** , no great loss from the idjit flouncing out (and BTW, flouncing is such a great word, IMHO, should be used more).

And that concluded the morning report. More as life continues on. Take care all.
