Good Morning Campers,
Yes, I'm back at the salt mine. Long hours. Shitty weather. Some joy. At least I've received a pay raise. Not much, but at least I'm no longer treading water.
Yesterday, my Better Half posted some pictures of the white stuff falling amidst the rain at the Wayward Inn. I was out in the mud with a team of drillers on the airfield. We had rain, lots of it but no snow. Kinda weird as the distance between these two points is only about five kicks as the crow flies. Today we have wind but no precipitation. The wind is out of the NW and the air temp is about 4° C. On the upside the Beauforts are covered in the first dusting of snow. It looks really prettybut unfortunately, due to security restrictions I cannot share a photo.
Let's get to the latest news about the Orange Menace. Faced with 91 criminal indictments spread between four or five trials Donny is blindly pushing forward in his bid for re-election. But not everything is rosy in his neck of the woods. In the Peach State trial there are now four co-conspirators who have jumped ship and plead guilty. I knew this would happen as the DA has charged nineteen individuals for conspiracy to subvert the election under the RICO Act. This is an extremely powerful law used to break up criminal organizations like La Cosa Nostra. It was Rudy, who reminds me of Underdog's nemesis Dr. Simon Barsinister, who, as the Big Apple's DA, first constructed the RICO act to charge and convict a ton of Mafia members. And now, he has been indicted under the law he had created. On top of that the Tangerine Tyrant's top aide and confidant Marcus, aka Brute', has knifed him in the back after receiving immunity in the Fed Jan 6th case. That bird will be singing loud and long. I dare say that the jig is up. There are some who doubt that The Orange Shit-gibbon will actually see the inside of a federal or state secure close quarter housing facility. Maybe not but at the very least he will be barred from ever running for Prez or any other elected position ever again. Personally, I would love to see his suit match the colour of his spray tan. Time will tell.
The Jr. Couch Monkey is minding the Dojo as the Sensei and his Lobster have migrated back to the Nation's Capital to spend a couple of months with their Loin Fruits. They have a pretty close family unit. Enjoy it. There are too many families that are full of strife and are not close until its too late. It's sad, isn't it?
This Halloween will mark the one year anniversary for our eldest Yard Ape and his Main Squeeze. She's a lovely girl and they are really good for each other. He'll be going back to college for the second phase of his electricians trade. We are so proud of his dedication and his accomplishments.

It's morning and I am still in bed, listening to Under the Influence podcasts. It's a Canuck production from CBC giving a behind tbe scenes look at marketing and advertising. I find it pretty interesting.
I had last Friday off work. Boy did I need it. Going forward to the New Year, I'm going to endeavor to move to a four day work week. It'll give me time to spend with my Better Half and maybe get some stuff done around the Wayward Inn. On that note, my Lobster asked what will the next book be. I'll have to think about it. I'm still working on the cook book. I have seventy-one recipes written and I've been asked to do a hundred. I'm thinking about capping it at seventy-five. I still have photos to take as well. Soon baby, soon.
Have you ever been in a lineup and have overheard something that you should not have heard? Something that is personal and completely out of place? Well, I was standing in a line, waiting to mail a book off to an individual as a gift. There was a lady behind me who spotted a friend who she hadn't seen for some time. They began to chat and when the friend asked, So, how have you been? the lady behind me casually said, "Well, I have worms. I must have picked them up at the Daycare. I'm taking pills but honestly I don't know which is worse the damn itchiness or the taste of the meds! Its so disgusting." I'll tell what's disgusting. An adult, working in a daycare facility, contracting a parasite which is often transmitted through fecal matter and which is easily prevented by wearing gloves and washing your damn hands!
Halloween is upon us. The Wayward Inn has been decorated and my Lobster has purchased enough candy to make all the dentists in the Valley very happy. We lucked in this spring and found a huge amout of Halloween decorations at a garage sale including a six foot skeleton. Our place looks pretty spooky and I'm sure the local ghouls and ghosting will enjoy it come Tuesday night. The decorations were installed over a couple of weeks and the Couch Monkeys will be tasked to take it down and put it away.
Speaking of holidays, it is surprising that the Feds have yet to declare Remembrance Day as a national holiday. Federal Employees have the day off and many businesses shutter out of respect but it is not a national holiday. What pisses me off is the stores, especially the big box stores, who already have the Christmas decorations put out for sale. It's as if their rush for profit skips from the Halloween stuff, which was put out in September to the Christmas stuff put out a couple of weeks before Halloween. I doubt very much that a delay until after the spookfest would hurt the bottom line very much. At the Wayward Inn, we don't start putting up the Christmas lights until after November 11th.
Well Kidlettes, that's about all for now. Take care of yourselves, be kind to others and if you can see if you can make someone's day just a little bit brighter.
