first halloween year in our new house. didn't know what to expect of the neighborhood. Got about 30 halloweeners, bought candy for 3000.

DWG & GWG will be enjoying the bountiful overpurchase of all our faves for the next few days. My A1c says "no, please don't" and I listen to it.

Annual reminder that the fake spider webs you stretch across your front porch look nothing like spider webs and instead just look like you murdered a sweater and have hung up its flayed corpse as a grim warning to all other knitwear.

"...we'll see what happens. i would love to do it. i have the numbers."

no you won't. stop talking about this. stop "flirting" w/ the idea. Shut up Bannon, Shut up everyone.

Absolutely illegal, absolutely unconstitutional.

Just everyone STFU. Do not feed the troll.

Trump keeps flirting with the idea of a third term. That would be unconstitutional

A recent interview with Steve Bannon reignited chatter about whether President Trump would try to run in 2028, despite the 22nd Amendment.

About 30+ years ago, I was the booking person for a coffeehouse in the Boston Area. Indie Folk was HUGE then. I got tons and tons and tons of demo tapes... Everyone got a listen.

A select few got booked. To this day I'm still friends with some of these amazing people!

Toffee REFUSES to go outside if it is actively raining, and if the grass is damp, and if the sidewalk looks like it is moist.

She has not been out since 5pm yesterday. The Pretty Pittie Princess that she is will wait.

Good news is it has stopped raining in our neighborhood!

Lean into the fall weather vibe with some kitchen joy.

Chicken stock, chicken salad with apples and walnuts, oatmeal pecan cookies, and walnuts ready for some toll house later today.

Soup and everything season.

Fall kitchen happiness with stock, chicken salad, cookies.

@maustermuhle.bsky.social today we parked near MP 103 of the C&O canal, walked nearly to 105, turned around and came back. I remembered your fantastic writeup of biking the C&O. Glad it is still in an alive archive for me to go back & read tonight.

Hope you are doing fantastic.

Also I do realize I am probably not the only one to think this so I'm not claiming at all to be some sort of comic headline genius or anything.

This was just an early morning thought while setting up the coffee to brew and I made myself laugh.

clgeiger.bsky.social @clgeiger.bsky.social · 8d

if in the race for VA governor, Winsome Earl-Sears loses, and at least ONE news organization does not write a headline of "You Win Some, You Lose Some" I will be sorely disappointed.

Any digital news folk who follow me, you're welcome for this awesome headline gift. No need to credit or pay me.
