Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my shivering friends!  How are you? Autumn arrived screaming down like an asteroid and I predict the same for winter. One day it’ll be autumn, the next it’ll be winter.  Winter, three months (or more) of cold, sleet and snow. I can hardly wait.  As my bones age and ache, I may have to move south.  Or just croak. 

The end of Daylight Saving Time is usually easier to tolerate than the start of it.  But I still screwed up and missed three clocks.  The one in my car, of course, I can never remember how to do it. 

No trick-or-treaters at our house.  Everyone is afraid and paranoid these days.  I don’t blame then.

Such an interesting subject: children and Halloween.  Be careful out there. 

I went to have some lab work done today and right at the entrance is a large placard asking you if you have fever plus a whole lotta of other things.  Or if you’ve recently traveled to of from West Africa, they had paper facemasks.

Ebola.  Every couple of weeks there’s some new threat that is going to kill us all.  If it isn’t one thing, then it’s another.  It’s been like this since the Great Recession.

More bad news from the hometown in the form of layoffs at CNH and Johnson Wax.  Those poor families.  It’s real and it keeps getting realer.  Watch the hell are people supposed to eat?

Sorry about the politics, but sometimes one must speak out.  Our city must come together more and more.  We need to slay the dragons of greed and avarice.  They’re just as much a threat as heroin or other street drugs.

The good news is that other 99.99% of the people were perfectly or very well behaved.

I hope the rest of your week goes better than mine.

Love,
Madame Zoltar

The lies were laid on heavily and the timing was done with a surgeon's precise skill. The people cast their vote. Let the craziness begin.... or continue. We get what we ask for. It will be what it will be.

I do wonder what will happen when all services to the poor, underemployed and even those with no acquired skills or just lazy are cut. People won't stop eating, Madame. I don't believe 99.9 percent are perfectly well behaved.

I'm not dealing with the time change so well so far. Can't sleep and then sleep too late. My life sucks

SER- I don't know it may be a very close game. I heard on the news that a lot of Packers are injured and that does not look good for the Packers.

I had to go to the Doctors office yesterday and read the same material. At least they are trying.

SER - Really?
