Brrrr...It's nippy out there, only 77 above zero. It sure looks lovely, though, with nice blue skies and not a cloud to be seen. The occasional boat is moving along the river and yes, the manatees are basking in the sunshine. I hadn't seen them since the Sunday that Linda was coming and now yesterday they showed up. I wonder where they've been hiding!
Speaking of Linda, the birthday girl is off celebrating with her hubby for the weekend, visiting the Apostle Islands, venturing into the UP, and a scenic ride along the lake shore. She said the wind took care of the pretty fall colors but it's still picturesque for the ride. Justin and I saw on F & F this a.m. that the UP might get snow today so that could add a bit more excitement to their weekend. She made me laugh last night when she texted me upon arrival that Tommy determined 'the sea was angry that day, my friends...' I bet it was! I hope she does well on their scenic cruise ride today, and won't be a replay of our famous deep sea fishing outing!
A few recent observations: This a.m. I was reading FB postings from folks I know who attended a Christian rock concert. Some noted how nice it was to 'worship' with so many people at one time. Earlier this week another person I know was going with her friend to an event where a well-known 'medium' was appearing. Another young friend goes to a Christian gym where they do more than just workout, from what is posted. Another person is toying with metaphysical spirituality.
On Fox & Friends today two of the pundits were looking at recent focus group info following the debate on Tuesday. There was a amazingly high number of Republicans who were in favor of increasing socialism. This is so frightening. The man who does the groups stated how the language is changing---words don't mean now what they used to. He said by this time 2016 we will have a whole new definition on a lot of things. What a mess!
On another note, Justin came into my room and announced quite sadly that he feels like a bad son. I asked, "Why?" and he said he wouldn't be available to take me to the airport the day I leave because Ron's wedding is the night before. He knows that 6:00 a.m. will far too early for him to get up nor would I want him to. I'll have to ask someone else to get up that early because of my bad son. Truthfully I hadn't thought about the wedding being the night before, but chose Saturday so it would be easier for him to take me. Nuts! Plan B, I guess.
