Dear Madame Zoltar

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.

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!
