October Miscellany


We had lots of varied weather today - showers, sunshine, coolness - a lovely fall day.


The images from the aftermath of the fires in California are just awful. I can't imagine being in such a threatening situation.


Cheney's family tree: Click here for a wonderfully nasty editorial cartoon. And click here for another one on the same subject.


We got our 2007-08 basketball tickets for the University of Tennessee Chattanooga Lady Mocs. We are ready for the college basketball season to start. The only game we'll miss is when the Lady Mocs play the Lady Vols - but I guess we can handle that. We won't miss any of our home games, and I guess we'll get to one of the tournaments in March. We'll have to choose - the Southern Conference (UTC) Tournament is in Charleston the same weekend as the Southeastern Conference (Lady Vols) Tournament in Nashville. Oh, well - we don't have to make that decision yet.


We also got notification that our tickets to the remaining Chattanooga Symphony season have been processed and are being mailed out. John figured it out that there'll be no conflicting dates between the Symphony and the Lady Mocs. We'd hate to have to make such a choice.


Today was oil/acrylic painting day at Studio 2. I worked on 3-4 different paintings. I do have a good time "playing in the paint" with the acrylics. And occasionally I come up with some results that please me.


Today's picture is of some folks enjoying an al fresco lunch in Prague.
