Yes ... a four run lead with Kershaw isn’t safe.

Just keep hanging with me Bud, I keep it real

We didn’t lose power and no obvious damage, although we won’t really know until the sun is up.

The winds peaked at 66 mph. Not too crazy for a winter storm for us, but with the trees trees still leaved, power is out for a lot of folks around me and travel will be difficult this morning while trees and limbs are cleared from roads. All the schools are closed too.

I bet the Dodgers won.
I gotta go make a buck or two.

Lots of road closures here in MA due to flooding and power lines down. Lots of school closings and delayed starts but not for our town so I’ll be braving the roads since it’s my day to drive Princess and the neighbors.

Doggy-do was sick all night. He must have eaten something he shouldn’t have. I’m exhausted.

Morning, hosers.

We were fine all night long. Then the power went out just as I was starting to put my face on. Or as they say in certain parts of England, put me slap on. Luckily I had just finished drying my hair and the curling iron was still hot for me to fix that one stupid cowlick at the forehead.

Traffic sucked and the rain is easing up, but the wind is howling. It's a proper autumn day!

Well as they say "there was frost on the pumpkin" this morning. Heavy frost around the house (highest elevation). Glad I kept postponing the final mowing, now I'm done till next spring!!!!!!!!!!!

@limr Any comments on the firing of McElwaine????

Amazing to me that your hard freeze came before ours almost 1000 miles to the Northeast. I guess the warm ocean water influences our weather much more than I thought.

(PS...the last time I was in Gadsden, it was still in the 80s when I went to bed, haha)

Not too surprising, given their record and current problems with the team. Poor recruitment trickles all the way up to the coach. I am surprised and horrified at the death threats.

Yep, proper autumn Monday. Our power went out overnight for a few minutes, and we had heavy rain for most of the night. We've been having gusts up to around 40 mph. The road was covered in debris, including: mums, Halloween decorations, tree limbs, trash cans, and surprisingly, a trampoline.

A section of highway has just been opened to three lanes for a short stretch. Today was a pretty light day for traffic, so we'll see what it looks like at a more congested time. Hoping it alleviates a lot of traffic.

As much as I like summer, I'm ready for some cold weather.

Not my photo below. This is from our local community facebook page. Tree fell on this car as the mom was driving the 2 kids in the back seat to school. Miraculously, no one was seriously hurt. Not sure why the DPW cut the top off of this tree years ago then never came back to remove it but there are several like that around town. Pretty sure they'll all be gone by tomorrow...

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Gary's work email is functioning correctly and he is presently frustrated. It is 64F presently, projected to hit a high of 68F. Back to normal. Gary cannot remember the last time he lost power. He does remember losing power for hours and hours ... an earthquake back in the 90's, lost power for maybe six hours. But it was in the middle of the night, no big deal. But Gary does have a manual coffee grinder, if the day come when there isn't any power at dawn. Gary's a little thinker.

I get frustrated with work email, too.

This was a P.O. ... cash money ... and Gary couldn't get it to 'Send'. Gary opened the message in a separate window and off it went. Go figure ...
