Welcome to November! Is it just me or are you having a hard time believing we are 52 days until Santa Paws arrives. We hope you had a peaceful but fun Halloween. It was fairly subdued around here, and as I expected, no little goblins or ghosts stopped by, likely due to the HOA hosting a trick or trunk event (complete with adult beverages) but even that didn’t seem to attract a lot of kids. The neighborhood is still filling in with new families but it seems like people celebrate Halloween differently than when I was a kid where we walked for blocks in search of the best candy. Now days, kids attend parades at malls or in business shopping districts in daylight. Oh well, no biggie…just trying to figure out what to do with the bag of chocolate I’m left holding. Any takers on a bunch of ‘fun size’ Snickers?
The most exciting thing to have occurred over the weekend was the return to standard time. You’re probably saying, but wait, didn’t Congress vote to move to daylight time all year long? Well, the House voted for that but the U.S. Senate did not vote on that so we have to deal with changing clocks that don’t automatically change and try to sync our circadian rhythms to manipulated time. Returning to or maintaining Standard Time year-round is strongly supported by the medical and scientific communities as well as safety organizations for the reason that it aligns human biology with natural sunlight. We’ll have to see how this shakes out after the mid-term elections to see if Congress can actually pass meaningful legislation.
But putting aside political shortcomings, it’s Monday so that means we will start the week with a smile. Our friend from Indian Hills is back again with another groaner chuckler, depending on your personal take. Happy Monday. We hope you have a great week.
Live, love, bark! 🐾
I tried to do a hard boot, but alas, it clearly work. Stay cool peeps and have a good Monday.
