For the first time evah, the Thanksgiving (pt II) smokerage was conducted in shorts as it was in the mid-60Ā°s & sunny today. šŸ†’ Though I may not be hongry - Lunch was just off-the-smoker smoked salmon, snack was still warm smoked provolone & a couple still-needing-to-dry smoked cinnamon almonds. - I canā€™t wait for dinner (which will be momentarily). šŸ˜ƒ ---

I finally remembered to change the furnace filter - it was brown. It started out white. Canā€™t recall when I changed it last, but it was too long ago for sure. Even tho we havenā€™t had to turn the furnace on, the fan comes on periodically to recirculate air thru the house - thatā€™s what accumulated the crud. Tomorrow Iā€™m going to make some more crayons for the store - I see them as stocking stuffers. We shall see how that goes. Iā€™ve had ice cream - it was good. šŸ˜ƒ ---

Argh. A website posted on Facebook, asking what advice youā€™d give to someone whoā€™s about to ride public transit, and never has, and a couple of people suggested ā€œCarry a gun.ā€ Ugh. I hope they werenā€™t being serious, but you never knowā€¦ Is carrying guns on public transit something that happens often in America, I wonderā€¦ if I was on public transit and I knew someone had a gun, I donā€™t think Iā€™d feel safe. I donā€™t want to get into a gun fight (I meant an argument about guns, but I donā€™t want to get into an actual gunfight either) so I didnā€™t leave any comments about it on Facebook. Sometimes Iā€™m glad I live in Canada. (And yeah, I know a lot of people here on the board are Americans and/or have strong opinions about guns, and I donā€™t want to get into an argument here either. Just venting.) ---

In other newsā€¦ When I go into the room where my kittycat used to hang out, I keep almost trying to go and find him so I can pet him. ā˜¹ Heā€™s been gone a little over 24 hours now. ---

Several years ago, a guy on the NY subway was threatened in a robbery with a knife. It turned out to have been a screwdriver. The guy shot the attacker with a pistol, and went to prison. One opinion is that at least he lived through the experience, even though he is in jail. There are apparently a lot of folks in Canada who target shoot pistols as a hobby. Of course you do not have the ā€œgun violenceā€ problem we have. If all Americans were like me, there would be no problem. šŸ™‚ ---

**{{{Emily}}}** It took quite a while for me to not turn to give skritches before leaving home after my last cat. **Moooom** ā€™s right though, it does get easier. **spidey** , I was disappointed that the underlined _shorts_ wasnā€™t a link to a picture of you at the smoker. šŸ˜› My neighbor and I went to a local meatand three for supper. Although I had never ordered a meal salad there, I was pleased that they do a nice grilled chicken Caesar.
