Those Autumn leaves...(sighhhhh)...

“I turn over a new leaf ev’ry day but it don’t seem t’make a lot of difference.”  Justin Other Smith

So, what we got going on this lazy, dazy Sunday ‘long towards the end of October is/are leaves…leaves ’n more leaves…leaves falling, leaves on the ground, leaves t’be raked ’n leaves already raked ’n piled waiting for the old man to come back ’n pick ‘em up ’n put ‘em in the ‘green’ barrel….ah yessss, it’s California ’n out here, we recycle durn near ever’thing imaginable ’n some things that nobody ever imagined before…well, like governors….I understand Governor Moonbeam Brown (sounds like sumthin’ out’a the mind of Al Capp, remember him…’course, y’don’t, you’re too darn young) anyhow, I never read the story, only the headline, but it seems that the Moonbeam gave a speech back somewhere in the land t’other side of the Sierra ’n the sheeple back there loved it ’n him….’course, I read that in one of those liberal sheets so I took it with a grain or two of salt (can’t have more’n a grain or two cuz I’m supposed to be on a low-sodium diet)…

Anyhow, back to the real world:  Millyrose is due back this evening from The Great Disneyland Trek which, I’m told, wuz a great success as the girls didn’t figure it out until the very last minnit….not that I really believe that, y’know, they’re pretty smart gurlz ’n wuz prob’ly faking it for the sake of their Grandmother, Mother ’n Aunt….

Well, I have availed m’self of the opportunity (Gawd! The stuff that passes for opportunity when you get old) to blow leaves, rake leaves, pick up leaves, etcetera ad infinitum, an nauseum…also managed to squeeze in about four dog-walks a day but I ain’t had time to run the durn vaccuum cleaner even once…’n only washed dishes once (Thank Gawd for paper plates)…

Anyhow, Gawd’s in His heaven ’n all’s right with the world…well, right as can be with the Democrat in the White House but if living all these years has taught me anything at all, it’s that “this too, shall change.”
