It seems like time is going by faster since my heart attack. Lost the first two months of this year and now the last two months are rapidly approaching. I’m not feeling that much better and I have concerns about making it through this coming 7 months of winter. I have been at my old home since May, attempting to get things done, but I have fallen far short of the task. I won’t be able to get much done during the cold months for sure and the delays tend to make me loose sight of the shorter term goals. In case I miss it, Happy Halloween, Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Xmas, Happy Valintine's Day, Happy Easter and a fine Forth of July to all my friends. Remember to vote Blue and Happy Holidays! That should cover most of next year and I hope it will be a better one than 2023 has been. It looks like this Thursday evening we will get our first hard freeze of the season, we expect 28 degrees and wide spread frost between 2am and 10am Friday. That will get the leaves changing color in the next couple weeks and then it will look a lot like winter. I will need to winterize Baby Blue to preserve the tanks and the truck. So much to do, so little energy, so little health. Wish me luck! Who is talking to who. SPOILER WARNING: A late night gathering for non-serious palaver that does not speak of that night's show. Posting a spoiler will get your brolly whacked. You don't want that to happen to you. The battle over AI and the writer’s guild continues. Here’s the problem: The writer’s are striking for decent wages for their creativity. The rich that they work for seem to think that they can wait out the writers and instead count on Artificial Intelligence to replace the writers and protect their bottom line. Neither side will budge so I’ve put the Brolly whacker in the closet for now. I wonder if we will ever see late night television like we used to again. Spoil away, this is an open thread. Update: The writers are coming back to work, the strike is over and I’ve taken the Brolly Whacker out of the closet and dusted it off. May I never need this paragraph again! It’s still an open thread. Tuesday, October 3 Jimmy Kimmel: Kathy Griffin, Luenell, Glen Hansard Jimmy Fallon: Taraji P.
