Hello Kitty turns 50 today

In Boston... we didn't root for, we rooted against.

I stopped at Dollar General on the way home from work today and picked up $18 worth of candy for Trick-or-Treat night, which is from 6-8pm. It is now 6:30, 1/2 hour in, and how many kids knocked at my door. None, nada, zilch, zip, zero. And I don't hear any activity in the neighborhood (it's 80 degrees and the windows are wide open). Ima have lots of candy left after 8pm.

Next year I'm turning the porch light off. Eff 'em.

On my walk through a Frasier Fir farm yesterday AM. I saw a couple of women. They were in front of me about 75 yards. I also heard something squalling in the woods bordering the farm.The women stopped at the base of a steep hill and started looking up at a 70 ft oak. The squalling got louder as I caught up with them. Seems like Buster their cat was 40ft up the tree and he was not happy. I introduced my self and made sure they knew I had permission to walk their land. Seems like Buster had been up the tree four days. The women called the fire depo but the ground is too steep for a truck. They had somebody coming that could climb. We figured a coyote had run Buster up the tree.
Today I Checked the tree and no sign of Buster.
On another note there is a big pig running loose over in the town of Blowing Rock. A lot of town folk are on the chase but the pig is still loose and starting to wreck stuff.
I like the rural life.
