Ooky.

I'm sorry I've been out to lunch -- well, more than usual. Last week was nuts, mostly workwise, but also MRI wise and dogwise (he desperately needing a bath). This week could be just as whacko, but we'll see. 

Meanwhile, we're more than a week into October, about that time that anyone who is going to decorate for Halloween has at least started doing so. Let's see how it's going.

Very festive. The garbage can is a nice touch.

Enter... what? The house? The grave? 
Message unclear.

A jolly pile. But we all know this is a 
repurposed snowman. The factory in China
threw the switch from Christmas to Halloween
and they started to come out like this.

I think I first saw the tall one in 2020, the year of the world's
stupidest pandemic, and thought it ironic that the plague doctor,
one of the scariest looks ever devised, was meant for public safety. 
Well, he's being scary again. He seems to have scared
Pumpkin Child into fainting.

I'll see you tomorrow for Indignant Persons' Day (observed), although probably not to comment on the holiday this year. Brace yourself for -- something different!
