I DIDN'T WAKE UP UNTIL 4:30 THIS MORNING

Actually, I don't know why I bothered to wake up then.  My calendar is totally empty today.  That's the way I like it.  I've never trusted people who are always busy.

OUR ATTITUDE TOWARD MENTAL HEATH TREATMENT IN THE USA IS OUTRAGEOUS

A THOUGHT

 

"The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?"

I WAS ALL GROWN UP BY THE 80'S WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY I NEVER HEARD OF THE POUND PUPPIES....I, APPARENTLY, MISSED SOMETHING

If you grew up in the '80s, you may have owned a Pound Puppy. Well, they're making a comeback: http://t.co/d7kaNVAApM pic.twitter.com/lBEUxDRmV7

I'LL PROBABLY GET STONED FOR SAYING THIS BUT, EVEN THOUGH I WAS A BIG ELVIS FAN, THERE'S SOMETHING A BIT SICK ABOUT ALL OF THIS

BREAKFAST VISIT

Rita had a doctors appointment this morning so she stopped by, after that, and we went to A & W for breakfast.  They're getting ready for a trip to Florida in September.

"FALLISH" DAY ON THE MISSISSIPPI

The sky is a November gray and there's a feel of fall in the air with the temperatures in the mid 70's at mid-day.

The National Weather service says we can expect to see scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms as a cold front sweeps across the area today and tonight.

RITA AND ROGER WILL LIKE THIS

GLOOMY DAY

Dark clouds and a 50% chance for rain today although, all the rain is north of us this morning.
