JSS-- Just Some Stuff.
1. FALL COLOR-- The "Color Wave" finally hit here yesterday. The honeylocusts are gold as is the sumac. The Amur maple is setting a new glorious orange. Mums are a myriad of colors, but primarily yellow, red,and orange. We noticed the same is true of trees all over the area and subdivision. Definitely a favorite time of the year.
Not only are leaves falling, but also gas prices are coming down. We paid $3.32 in Fox lake, Illinois, yesterday.
Then, there's that great smell of burning leaves, one of my favorite smells of all.
2. HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS-- Friday, I put up the orange lights and wreaths outside. Saturday, Liz put the pumpkins in the windows. Who has more Halloween spirit than us? Down right eery at night. Like, BOOOOOO!!!!
The witch with the bouncing eyeballs is out and saying "I'm going to get you my sweetie!" and the tarantulas are crawling, much to Liz's chagrin.
3. GREAT DAY OF BOATING-- Yesterday, we went for a cruise with friends Kevin and Kelly and Jim and Arlene. Three of them are teachers and had Columbus Day off. Sadly, Liz and I no longer get holidays off.
Did a slow cruise around Fox Lake and into Petite Lake. Stopped at Captain's Quarters and ate outside. Hard to beat $2 cheeseburgers and fries along with $2 domestic bottles even though they regard O-Doul's NA as an import and no amount of convincing them otherwise could change their minds. Mondays are also free chips and salsa.
Cruised through Nippersink Lake and had a seaplane looking as if it were going to land on us, but it cleared US-12 and landed in the channel to Pistakee Lake. The guy pulled up to a marine gas pump and filled up. That's something you don't see every day.
Looked as if it was going to rain and we stopped at the Legion for 50 cent drafts and later at McDonald's for buck double cheeseburgers. The Legion and McDonald's are among the few places like that where you can boat into.
A Good Day Out on the Boat, Anytime. Planning to Go Out Today as Well. --RoadDog

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
