Left the @RailYardDawgs game halfway thru the second period tonight, and I wasn’t the only one. I honestly think we’re getting worse game by game . . . .

Stella and I made our bi-annual day trip to the @OmniHomestead to hit up their Sparrow’s Nest gift shop. That place has TONS of Ruffled Feather candles, the best candle ever!

Lotta folks downtown today for the big Veterans Day Parade, and Lawyer Bob, Masters Degree Astella, and Farmer Tim were ready to satisfy any cravings for produce!

Me, three weeks ago on opening night: “This is gonna be a championship year for our @RailYardDawgs! Polish up that Cup because it’s coming back to Roanoke!”. Me, tonight: “We’re terrible”.

WHOA! Talk about a triple play, Beatles Channel just played George’s “This Guitar (Can’t Keep From Crying), Beatles “I’ll Get You”, and Paul’s “Dance Tonight” back to back to back! Three of my all time faves!!

The bulb on my lava lamp went out last night, which gave me the opportunity to get a new one today from Roanoke Electric Zupply! On the corner of 10th St. and Salem Ave., this place has free popcorn and slushies as well as dogs roaming around inside!

I thought that after Halloween, harsh, dark, and frightful images would vanish from my TV screen, but I forgot that campaign ads continued until after the election today!

Just purchased and watched the documentary “Capturing Bigfoot” on Amazon Prime. It’s mainly about the 1967 footage purported to be a Bigfoot, and was extremely well done.

Been a Beatles fan for 49 years, and never even KNEW there was a photograph of Paul McCartney with The Supremes!
Paul McCartney with The Supremes (Cindy Birdsong, Diana Ross and Mary Wilson) at a party after their London debut show, 30th January 1968.

I LOVE this sunshine in the morning! Made my pre-church dog walk in Garst Mill Park even more of a joy than usual. Of course, I’ll probably be bitching at 5:30 this afternoon about how early the sun is setting!

All eight trick-or-treaters got to see my masterful carving job PLUS take a plethora of Reese’s peanut butter holiday treats (which taste much better than regular peanut butter cups)!

Cooler air may be here, but that’s not stopping Lawyer Bob, Masters Degree Astella, and Farmer Tim from selling fall produce on the City Market this morning! And check out all the bags of CANDY they’re sharing with kids!

Jay Leno may be 76 years old, but he hasn’t lost his ability to keep a crowd laughing for two solid hours!

Saw (and loved) @jayleno six months ago @TheHarvesterRM in Rocky Mount, so we’re gonna catch him again tonight @AtTheAcademy in Lynchburg! Which of course means I have to take Mitzi by @HobbyLobby so she can shop for about an hour!
