High Iron and Rollin' Thunder

Tonight is Halloween.  Should be fun.   The election is drawing near.   Hope Obama wins.  Romney would be a disaster for this nation. 
World Series is over.  Giants swept the Tigers.  They played small ball with great pitching and defense shutting down the Tigers for most of the series.

Not much going on in the rest of the world except the hurrican Sandy really beat up the east coast.
Obama is getting high marks for his response to the disaster

fingers crossed

Mary Rose went to Buffalo for a week. I survived quite nicely. The weather has cooled down and the furnace actually came on. I fwould never have believed this a week ago. The WS has begun and Verlander got stomped by SF. Great. I finished my rehap and feel pretty good. We got the back deck finished. It cost us more than we thought but all three are in great shape. Now for a couple of quiet months. YD

Back in hot California. We went to a wedding in Illinois and spend five days in Iowa. Iowa is the 46th state I have spent at least one week in. We visited Foeld of Dreams, Boone and Senic Valley RR with it's steam engine built in China. We also visited the Union Pacific Railroad Museum with it's 150 anniversary display. Finally we visited the Stratetic Air and Space museum and Herber Hoovers Presidential Library. Quite a lot of stuff to visit. The Yanks are choking big time and the fans are down on several players. That is the way it goes. YD

I am getting a bit of therapy for neck muscles.  It seems to work a bit.  It is a workout.

The Yanks have made the playoffs and now they are gunning fot the division flag and best record in the AL.  This will give them home field advantage going into the playoffs.

We leave for Chicago on Friday and will spend a weekend in Illinois and four or five nghts in Iowa.  Could be fun or the all-time dull.
