THE FRIDAY FUNNIES
(yawn) (ho-hum) Bet you thought I'd never get here, didn't you?
Well, some days just start later than others.
Especially when the nights are cooler and the bed is warm and . . .
Oh, never mind all that, let's get started.

I ONLY KNOW IT'S MONDAY
In this 21st Century a hoo-hah has erupted over whether today's holiday is Columbus Day or Indigenous Peoples' Day.
In the once peaceful city of Portland, Oregon, statues of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt were torn down overnight.
I can't make sense of it all.
So I resort to a cartoon, with which to wish you all a good holiday.

POT PLANTS
Our pot plants are hanging in there nicely, possibly due to the continued warm weather.
(They're not what you may have been expecting. I call them that because we grow them in pots.)

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES
Yes, I know.
The weeks just keep getting weirder and weirder.
Sometimes I think, "how can I come up with something to make people laugh."
But I keep trying and searching, aided by my many contributors and fellow funny folk.
So with that wee bit of alliteration, let us begin.

HYDRATE
For years now, I've been taking a drug called Warfarin, which is a blood thinner.
That requires me to have a blood sample taken every four weeks.
It used to be simple, just a quick finger stick and a drop of blood taken.
But then the labs here quit using the finger stick and instead insist on sticking a needle into your arm and drawing out a larger quantity of blood.
So today, I went to have my monthly blood draw and here's what happened.

THE BRITS
I began watching Downton Abbey yesterday.
I had watched around the first six episodes a couple of years ago and then quit so I decided to start at the beginning once again.
Nothing like a British drama to relax the mind.
And then what turned up in my email?
Probably from Wacky Wally but I'm not sure.
At any rate, here it is.
Coincidence?
Must have been.

SPOOKINESS
I'm not sure how long Halloween decorations have begun coming out in my town.
Or as I call it, "rushing the season".
But since it is now October I guess I can post my first of the "seasons greetings".
Rest assured, spookiness abounds.

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES
Without comment on this week's news, let us commence.
That's all I've got for The Week That Was.
Have yourselves a happy little weekend and always remember to keep laughing!
Here, kitty-kitty . . .

THE CATS-ENJAMMER KIDS
My good friend, Tom of Light Breezes sent me a photo this morning of his big orange cat, Hemingway, lolling in the sun with, as Tom put it, "his buddies".
He graciously gave me permission to show the picture to you.

AUTUMN, AT LAST
Okay, it's the fall of the year up here in the Northern Hemisphere.
(I know, Meggie, it's the beginning of Spring down there in Oz where you live.)
The Autumnal equinox took place a few days, well nearly a week ago so now the leaves are changing and falling and the temperatures are getting cooler and we're looking for the flannels and the heavy blankets, right?
Well, here in the Central Highlands of Arizona, the mercury is still climbing into the 80's every day and it's still over 100 in Phoenix, just 80 or so miles to the south of me.
Hey, I know! Just get off my back, willya?
Look at the good side of it.
