Can't wait for the election craziness to come to an end so we can move on to the civil unrest craziness, followed by the next "pandemic" craziness, and then whatever else they have planned.

Thankfully, we live out in the woods, buffered from most of the ongoing cultural suicide and no real interest in being a part of anything anymore (retirement is nice that way). It's good to be surrounded by nature, hanging out with a couple big dogs whose biggest challenge is getting that damn squirrel to come down out of the tree to play.

Being close to the land –and nature– in some way is, I think, the missing puzzle piece in modern life. That's why I enjoy your posts about farm life.

Have a great week, Doc! Stay "grounded" and have a Happy Halloween.

Hey Steve, we also live in the "woods"; you are right on ALL counts.

We don't see any Halloween'ers out here though!

No trick or treaters here, either. We had neighbor kids a half mile away until they grew up and left the nest, and we always had giant-size candy for them.
