Good morning GH.  I think I'll make this down and dirty.  A quick glance out the Weather Window shows gray skies and lots of wind blowing.  Currently the temperature on the desktop is 41 degrees, but with that wind, I bet it will feel like 21.  Sugar the Weather Dog will not want to be out, I can pretty much guarantee that.  I have to go to the doctor for a follow up, and I don't even want to go.  Between Saturday and yesterday, I collected 12 bags of leaves from our palatial estate, so I know that getting them raked up before the big wind blew in from the East, was a righteous idea.  Mary made bean tacos for lunch yesterday, and then we split a bean burrito for dinner.  When I say I work for beans, I'm not kidding.  I don't envy the people in NYC nor anywhere in the path of Hurricane Sandy.  Six million without power, billions in damage, and even the big blow from NJ had to admit that the federal response was wonderful.  We got Steph's package with the Halloween candy and the John Wayne movie.  Both are much appreciated.  Otherwise, I'd better get to that shower, and then out with Sugar before I have to be at the doctor at 10:00 AM.  So, I think it is...Tea time.  No pictures today.
