{here's the twist: Imagine the Sox pull this thing off under the total darkness of Diana---a sweep would be a fantastic prediction of Mine, at this late date.  And afterthen, i would have to follow the ball=base evermore.} SWAK!  My colours are bleeding! One line to the next...On the nearly next Tuesday Every=one will have to do something special. Climb out of our complacent beds & VOTE. [reiteratus: if you don't go to the polls, you can't kvetch.]  AND there won't be anothre lunar eclipse until *gasp* Hillary and Colin face off against the Libertarians. Do not mark my werds~i have a time=machine. Plus+, i reside in a swing state but i don't Swing. moon me over as i try to catch up 2 the unlimited possibilities^   ^reposited from And5^ Sunday, October 28, 2oo7..slac don't write on Sun=Day. Bosox clean clox of Rox afore the real chronometre change...  Tuesdayish~i have heard from the Colonel and kin; they are safe if somewhat Smoky. i hope they catch the knuckleheads who set those fires AND i hope they give 'em the full water=boarding. The Turtle also rang me up to get filled in on the News. He now knows nearly as much as me. The BaBa chili is halfway gone; i'll have to freeze a pint or so and concoct something else.   ~slac~

Tuesday, October 23rd, and7, New epoch...  That RUPERT MURDOCH is a clever fellow! While the Red Sox were pre=empting the SIMPSONS and FAMILY GUY, his 'news' channel was covering yet anothre Republican debate. {i'll give you three guesses about which of these drew the larger rating}  i wish the mantle conservatifs would stop using the names of RONALD REAGAN and HILLARY BLAINE in the same soliloquy--it's nearly sacriligeous! And, yes, the Beantown Boys pulled a pennant outta their chapeaus. Such miracles can occur, randomly.

My EUROPEAN relatifs have retourned safely to the beltway environs; they are settling in and waiting on their container. i sure hope it all fits in their opulent squirl=cage! More as more presides...

The Pennsy Legislature is schtill behaving badly.  They killed a proposal for a constitutional confab, tabled a bill to shrink their size and budget AND submitted a less=than=stellar Open Records law. Some of these remaining cronies are just putting more staples in their catafalque.  {i'd be more angry if i weren't so deeply Disappointed and Ashamed} Well, Keystoners vote again soon!

Cat Hi Boo.

Slak* hey

Cat What are you up to?

^imp Edited for nomenclature^

While i'm praying for MALIBU and PAKISTAN, i believe i'll schtart a bigAce badAce booeyChili...it'll schpook my neighbours as the Night of Souls comes to the Walley. ~hotlyHaunted slac~

Friday, October 12th, and7, New Epoch.  Schports: the Filadelfia Athletyx were so astounded by the early fold of the New York Metropolitans...that they did the same t'ing!  The othre NY team was eliminated as well, sad to say. Beantown is represented & i have many relatifs who partake of the Cod.  Never mind~i don't even know the Leagues.  MARION JONES has opted to retourn her Gold Medals. And retire from Track & Field.  These^ are also sad occurences; i wish her well. Too high a Price is paid when Glory is gained thru chemical enhancement. It's nearly time to ban steroids across the sportwerld.  At least Professional Wrestling is schtill Pure and realistic. [i hardly watch it.]

International news: If nobelist JAMES CARTER comes to your Village, ya betta let him pass!  This guy is serious about Democracy all over the place! i'm glad to see my friend [i met him once] schtanding up to bullies in his middling Age.  He mighta had as much vinegar when he ran the whole country (US '76), but i won't complain of it.

That ALFRED NOBEL committee will give their peace prise to almost any=one! They just handed one to OSCAR winner Saint Albert Gore (Junior).  Holy Crud! When do i get mine? No matter...AL deserves the accolades, presently. It's quite possible that losing the Millennial Elexn at the REHNQUIST Court was the best thing that ever happened to him. {editorial rhetoric^^} And without his lovely bride, TIPPER, we wouldn't know which record albums to buy... Peace!

Saturday--the Customers did not whelm me over, but i missed my ride by mere Moments.  {he who walx too early, walx at length...}  Wish me luck on the puxxle; i have slipped one lettre in each of the last three (3)?!

Tuesday, October 10th, And6...a politicle reposit: it might spook the Party bosses if we succeed in terminating certain Toadies on this go-around. Vote early & often.

October 9th, and7, new=epoch...there are three (3) Elexions in the present cycle, here=abouts. In just under a month, Keystoners should Vote in a state municipal one which may OR mayn't send a modern message to the legislature & judiciary about recent shenanigans concerning Slots, Tolls, un=transparent Gub'ment and othre local issues. Come the Schpring, we Pennsyites will have a short window to slam down on certain Presidential Anointees. {it'll be a dirty dog=race by then, but i'll Vote anyway} Registre!

i remembre hundreds of college kids turning up for the '04 National Elexion[which is last & worst]...i pray they come out again, with friends. Young Voices^  ^that's enuf Liberty for now^

Mass transit musings: Monday, i was sitting on the cherch schteps waiting for the W out=bound when another fellow sat down nearby. But he didn't catch the bus?! That was weird. Later, waiting on the side of highway for the in=bound, a lady in a mini=van smiled at me. Then, she smiled more broadly...so i gave her a little wave. i sometimes get that^  {i look like a holy man when i sit at that stop} Such is the riding Life...

"At the end of the day, it will depend upon conditions on the ground..."   If  i never hear these two (2) frases ever again, it'll be too fleegle soon.

SOCRATES said,"the Life which is unexamined is not worth living." My corollary states,"the Examined Life is not a great deal bettre!" Thereyago.

There's a sign on the link=chain fence of the athletik fields which goes:

*NO BIKING DOGS OR GOLFING*

it confounds me much! one can either chip und putt Without a bike riding puppy or let your poodle pedal as long as you don't have any irons.  less=the=never, mayhaps none of the abof?  i'm sure the skool district knows Xactly what it means. i fathom not...Perhaps as useful as an aer=freshener in a convertible... slac has seen dat.  Saturday, October Sixth, AndSeven...the weathre has been too nice, as evidenced by all the trux & trailers which inundated me at werk Today!  [some may think i haf COLUMBUS dé off, but i don't] CAT & BLADE were good enuf to give me a ride around the town; it was hoppin' for some reason. i am putting up my autumnal chicken=soop, but it feels too much like Summer to do so!? Amorro, i go aventuring... solemn Sun=Day  ~slac~

Septembre twenty=two

~Cat Hey, long time no see.

*slak* thanx

~Cat You're welcome.

~Cat 15 OK. Ta.

*slak* 15 luvya/tanx

Gotta love the single Life! i go where i please and my Time is my own. There's a lightness to it, such as going to the grox schtore and buying: milk by the Quart, buttre in the two=schtick pack, sugar in the one=pound box.  i used to buy potatoes in five pound bags AND now i just count them out; one cooking/flavouring onion will last me a week or more. i have to freeze half a loaf of bread when i buy a whole loaf~it lasts that long!  Yes, there is much to recommend living part of one's Life alone.  OH! And the reason i am so friendly towards my neighbours' cats & dogs is: i don't have to take care of them [the pets, that is].  There's othre schtuff, too AND i'll think of them when i care to. Xcelsior!

Monday, October First...i got off the bus in the old neighborhood and glanced at the Progress on the hovel.  The new fambly is laying schtones in the back=yard.  It's down to the dirt & the retaining wall is Exposed with all its faults [acause the English Ivy is all gone].  One of the othre neighbours was dragging out his trash and said,"Come back for a Visit?"   i replied, in truth,"Just checking on the progress." Half a block away, i saw GLORIA coming Home in her mini=van.  She was  glad to see me and filled me in. [WAYNE & PAULA have also moved outta the 'hood] Then i meandered home.

What?! It's Octobre already?? ~slac~
