It's 45 degrees and clear.

It's Columbus Day Weekend.

(Click image for history.)

From WKTV: " Sunshine will be with us all day Friday as high pressure settles in over us. Temperatures will actually be a little cooler than they were out there Thursday. Thursday's highs were in the upper 60s, where as we should struggle to get to the mid 60s Friday. Another cold night is expected Friday night, with lows in the 30s and low 40s.
That area of high pressure will be with us all weekend long! Saturday and Sunday will see full sunshine, with highs in the upper 60s to start and low to mid 70s Sunday. Monday will be nice as well, but a backdoor cold front coming from New England may shave a few degrees off the high temperature. Either way, upper 60s to around 70 should be expected with ample sunshine.

There's a wonderful tribute to Autumn on Conger Avenue.

That WAS a "quick stop," as far as remodelling was concerned!

Be prepared to make another quick stop - or at least a slow-down - up at "Hubbard's Corners."

A short stretch has a fairly smooth surface ........

... but, with almost no warning, the pavement ends and bumps begin again.

At Rancho Cerritos, the alpaca seem disinterested in visitors.

The Pryputniewicz farm stand is bright with Fall produce ..........

............ but not as bright as this patch of Black Alder (American Holly) in a swamp just south of Paris. Those of us who search for this shrub, hoping to add a touch of red to our Christmas bouquets, are continually frustrated by the facts that not only does the plant seem only to grow behind "Posted" signs, but it's always knee-deep in cold water!

I did visit the Library to look at the Veterans' Wall. There were just four stars there, and here is what was written on them:

LEMAN WOLF

Korean War 1950

Leman entered the war in his junior year of high school. He was based mostly in Hawaii and Japan.

I'm sure that the "wall" will be filled by Veterans' Day!

FOR THE RECORD

That's the lowest it's been in just about six months!

The Sox meet the Rays, tonight, in Florida.

Have a Great Weekend, Everybody!
