Falling leaves 'n other thot's....

These Autumn days are, as Lawrence Welk used t’say, “Wunnerful, wunnerful.”.......Cool nites ‘n warm days, changing leaves....’n changing time this weekend...Fall back, r’member....Spring ahead ‘n Fall back.....that means early dark ‘n in this age of gas ‘n eco-conscious people, that means more hard t’see pedestrians ‘n bicyclists on the streets....’n you don’t get ‘extry points’ for runnin’ down Hollow weenies either....
‘Course, y’just gotta enjoy the ‘in the meantime’ days of falling leaves...I’m making a little more coffee in the mornings now....movin’ up to 8 cups ‘stead of 6...like to linger over my coffee on these fall morns.....only dim spot is my morning paper...The Sacbee seems t’be going steadily downhill...it’s a smaller paper these days, reminiscent of those regional newspapers in Alabama ‘n Virginia...they’re asking people to vote on their favorite comics this week...kind’a pointless, I think, since they offered only what they now carry...mostly I find myself going to the internet now to find my favorite strips... kind’a funny, I s’poze, that at 71 years old, I still like to read the comics.....I have the Sunday comics from the Bee way back when it was a ‘real’ newspaper in the ‘thirties.....they were large, easy to read, colorful (better than t’day) and so far as comics go, the old days were demonstrably better.
Hallowe’en is upon us ‘n I was just wondering if placing the presidential election so close to Hallowe’en was done on purpose...Probably not since I can’t imagine politicians having that much sense of irony.
And as sick as I am of this never-ending campaign, I find myself compelled to make an observation:
A judge in Ohio has ruled that a homeless person can claim a park bench as a residence for purposes of voting. I wonder if they’re following in the footsteps of Alabama ‘n Mississippi...Ohio has a population of a little less than twelve million ‘n they’ve already registered more than fifteen million Democrat voters.....’n a goodly number of ‘em live under that same bridges as John Edwards homeless veterans.
