Good morning, from Florida, Friends of the Forum!
@Mart, good grief! I am so terribly sorry you had to go to the emergency room, but relieved that it was an effective “fix”. I hope it works like a charm. I know it’s taxing to go through such an ordeal.
After moping about over the time change, I faced the music that it it will be dark by five. That means that sunset runs are out, so I was up at five to squeeze one in. It was pure pleasure with no one on the trail, enabling me to detach at the brain stem. 'm finally settling down with a cup of chai before heading into town, like Bruce, for the excitement of a dental checkup - which I love, especially the Prophy Jet that is half pressure washer and half sand blaster. I’d install one here at the house, if I could.
As @Bruce mentioned, the topic of the day is the elections tomorrow, thankfully when going out into the world, people are going about their day. I have the flag ready to unfurl to celebrate the process, my fellow citizens, and the blissful end of political advertisements 
. My only complaint about Election Day is that I believe our voters should have the day off.
I’ll be wrestling the dogs into the shower later for “dog factory” since my son will be over later. It’s a like an assembly line, I wash, one of the kids towels the dog off, and the next one finishes the drying process with the hair dryer. It’s literally wash, rinse, repeat! It is not the chaos it was when we had five, but the " The Kids" or younger dogs act like bucking broncos through the whole thing. Somehow the house and I always end up more drenched than anyone 
.
Christmas decorations, @Sheila? They are out in the stores here, but thankfully not adorning anyone’s homes yet. It’s all I can do to toss decorations up a couple of weeks beforehand and sling a few gifts under the tree in time for New Year’s! Once again, your neighbors have come to your rescue - good folk!
It finally rained in the night, so I don’t have to swap the gardening out for xeriscaping, but I shouldn’t smart off too much, because - incredibly - there is a late-season storm brewing in the gulf. Someone remind the hurricane designer that this is November.
Good luck today @OFG, hopefully you can sort out those hearing aids.
Alright, responsibility begs.
Have a good day!
