What a disappointing morning. We were supposed to have our first frost last night but the thermometer only got down as low as 52 degrees. |

I am never disappointed to not get frost. We had out first frost a couple weeks ago and it killed a number of my plants that I had meant to bring in but hadn't (not realizing that frost was on the way that night). I'm hoping that it just killed the top parts of the plants and that they may make a come back now that they're in the house, fingers crossed. |

Baldur's tale of the lady he helped somehow reminded me of a story I read quite some time ago. I believe it happened in India but I could have that wrong. It seems there was a bus full of patients going to the mental institution, now the bus driver decided that it was high time he had a break so he stopped for a couple drinks at a bar along the way. Shockingly, when he finally got back into the bus he found that all those mental patients had escaped and were nowhere to be found. Now he knows he'll be in some serious trouble for this so he leaps into action. He drives to the nearest bus stop and picks up everone there filling his bus. He then takes them to the mental institution and tells the intake people there that these people are espescially crazy and that they keep claiming to be different people and not mental patients at all. It took several days before they figured out what had happened and let the innocent bus riders go again. |

Heavens, but were they less crazy than the intended institutees? |

I believe they were completely sane (at least when they went in) they just weren't believed because of the story the bus driver told. Not sure how sane they were when they were eventually released though. |

I must gush for a moment. Today is the first anniversary of my wedding and I'm feeling quite good. Looking forward to going out to dinner with my honey tonight to celebrate. |

Baldur I must say that my brief visit to your lovely state was very enjoyable. I did not see anything beyond Newport though, touring the Vanderbilt mansions on my first visit, and on the way back to New York, I did a little walking tour and visited some of the shops. I had some delicious lobster rolls at one of the resteraunts although I can't remember the name of it. I believe it was a German pub of some sort. I was hoping to time my trip with the fall colors but was too early for your area and farther north the fall had been too warm to have changed the leaves and they were turning brown rather then the brilliant reds and golds I was hoping to see. Quebec City was the only place I saw any color and it was beautiful. |

Well Baldur, imagine you are making preparations for the approaching hurricane? Whatever you are up to, we are thinking about you and sending best wishes that all stays well with you, Robert, furry ones, and your estate. |

Hazer is watching the news in shock and disbelief at the devastation by hurricane Sandy of the beautiful places she visited just a couple of weeks ago. The cruise ship, the Princess Emerald, is waiting out the storm, hopefully safe. My thoughts and prayers are with all who are in danger tonight. |

Our thoughts are with all those of you on west coast USA. Hoping the terrible destruction and loss is confined to what we have already seen. |

Seems to me that all will slowly return to normal in North Carolina after Sandy. Regarding our neighbors to the north, I am worried. New York and especially New Jersey are devastated. Please do what you can to help. |

Haven't heard from Baldur in a while, hope all is safe and secure in his neck of the woods. |
