New Days Coming


The Hank Aaron bicycle or multipurpose trail across Hawley is now in place. Not sure when it will be done, but they promised this year. And we saw a lot of leaf pickups these weeks before the election though most of the leaves were still on the trees. I guess we were supposed to think the mayor was doing a good job, though we never saw that much city hardware when there wasn't an election.


I stepped away from the election fervor after I voted and visited all the dogs at the humane society, our polling place, and took a nice long ride. The Hoyt Trail is good and then I went to check on the bridge. Leaving the trails I caught these ducks enjoying something tasty to fatten up on before Winter. Possible snow tomorrow and then it looks like Indian Summer next week with temperatures in the 60's. Still some good riding weather ahead.

In the evening I followed the election results. Watched the BBC coverage. A bit too excited and clunky but more enjoyable than the liberal propagandists on our mainstream media. Even Misao, not a native speaker, could tell from their remarks that the various media big shots were democrats. And then there was the Geritol junkies on PBS that seemed about two hours behind in calling the races.

My weight is going down but I skipped the gym to open up the ceiling where the leak persists. It is good to see that the roof framing is in good shape. Have to prioritize the roof work and look long term to painting the entrance canopy.

Feeling hopeful on my weight loss goals and the future in general. Feeling prosperous and won my first poker tournament on Halloween. Misao always gives me job postings for teaching English in Korea. Have to improve our income somehow. The book sales will not be evident for some time as I was told some sales channels I will not receive a report from for 30-60 days. Inferring that I actually have sales through those channels like bookstores and other Internet retailers.
