Hello, my October octopi!
How are you? Fall continues to
fall. I was leaving a store last week
and the trees in front were dropping leaves like rain in the brisk wind. There is already much color in Racine. Many trees and shrubs are turning. It is the time of year when you can see why
certain euonymus shrubs are called burning bushes. The bright scarlet is gorgeous. So much is going on in the landscape, but so
slowly that it is difficult to appreciate it all. Fall is the time of year for walks. Get out and enjoy.
Our splendiferous and awesome Green Bay Packers squeaked by
the New Orleans Saints last Sunday.
Hip-hip-hooray! Now the Packers
and my Irregular Football League team, the Screaming Psychics, share the same
record: 2 – 2. What glorious company to
be in. Next up are the Indianapolis
Colts, this Sunday, October 7, at noon,
in Indianapolis. Clobber the Colts, please, Packers. Visit mayhem and violence upon them. Erase the Colts from the face of the Earth. Die, Colts, die! Oh my.
I saw Mr. OrbsCorbs’ blog about Mr. Mayor Dickert sending
out letters to nonprofit organizations asking them to pay their “fair share” of
property taxes. I think all of those
organizations should send Mr. Mayor Dickert a letter asking him to pay his
“fair share” of the legal bills he has inflicted upon us. I do not see one sign of any cutbacks at City
Hall. On the contrary, they live quite
opulently in their castle. Didn’t Mr.
Mayor Dickert once say he was going to take a cut in pay? Did he ever?
Ugh, it puts a bad taste in my mouth to ponder these things.
I can hardly wait to see our newest roundabout in
action. It’s right in front of City Hall
and a block away from the Police and Fire Departments, so accidents will
receive a very rapid response.
Below is a fall color map for Wisconsin
as of yesterday:
Most of the state is peaking right now, but we’re just about
to. When we’re peaking, you’ll see all
sorts of colors. Oh dear.
Q; What did one fortuneteller say to the other fortuneteller
when they met on the street?
A: “You are fine. How am I?”
Thank you so much for stopping by to read my blog. It warms
the cockles of my heart when visitors drop in.
I love my readers, Irregular and otherwise.
Have a question? Here’s the answer: madamezoltar@jtirregulars.com.
Enjoy the coming week, my dears. I hope that each and every one of you has a
wonderful one. Remember, turn that frown
upside down by standing on your head. Xenomancy!

aw Mme. Z, how did you know I sing to myself sometimes ' I wish I were an octopus...' oh just to have a couple more arms, can never have enough LOL!
Oh my Madame, the fall color guide was over the top/ of the trees that is.
Not sure if you have ever flown over Wisconsin this time of year; it is really a site to see. Blankets and blankets of color.
On the flip side, they are a pain in the ass to rake up every year.
This is my time of year. Throw a sweater on me and I'm happy. Can't stand the heat and humidity.
Just where are the "cockles" of your heart located? ;>
I had my cockles removed. They gave me heartburn.
If your leaf cover is not too heavy and you have a recycling lawnmower, you can chop up the leaves to fertilize the lawn
you hve to wait for a real windy day then rake them and they'll fly into the neightbor's yard... :)
