Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: Fall Is Creeping In

 Lovely cooler temperatures -- and a lot of wind -- are wafting over our house. The Brick knows that very well; he's been uptop replacing and tightening down screws that hold our metal roof in place. He won't let me up there. (My balance has not always been very good lately.) But I made him promise to take his phone, and I listen VERY carefully for footsteps and thumps. 

What else can you do. 

Otherwise, life goes on. I'll make up the last of the peaches into pie, and keep working on more reports. Gradually starting to catch up, which is wonderful. 


Meanwhile:

Another assassination attempt on Trump -- thank God, this one was also a failure. (This is all I knew as of Sunday night.) NOW WHAT?!?

Seventeen of the most amazing metal detector finds, including the largest nugget found (so far, at least) in the U.S.:  the Mojave Nugget. 156 ounces!


Don't get discouraged... here's a list of valuable vintage and antique Christmas ornaments. Including this 19th century skater:



One year after surgery: the recipient of the world's first eye and partial face implant.

Dozens of interesting crochet projects. Including this one -- a dissected rat. (No, I am not making this up.)



Intriguing secondhand finds.

A wonderful visit to the Cotswolds; I needed this mental break!  (Thanks, Mavis at One Hundred Dollars A Month)

Very funny e-mails. 

'IQ' moments -- hundreds of them. These are very clever.

In the interest of fairness -- the fact-checks VP Harris should have had during the debate -- and didn't. Not including another 'oops' -- turns out the Goldman Sachs report she cited during the debate has slightly different conclusions than what she stated. Oops.

A hobby horseriding championship?  Only in Deutschland...


Oh, and Michigan (28-18 -- against Arkansas State) and the University of Colorado (28-9 -- against CSU!) both won their games. But both teams-- the Wolverines and the Buffs -- need some work. 

Have a great week.
