Monday Evening Musings

This time next week it won’t be this time next week. 
It figures: when we need “more time in the evening” is when the clocks get flipped back. Hope y’all enjoy those 4:30 sunsets for the next three months. 
It’s cold, so I made a cat house. That’s a little Reflectix, a little duct tape, a little straw, and a couple of plastic storage bins. Hope one (or more) of the neighborhood strays will enjoy it this winter.
While I’m not enjoying the cold I am celebrating the end of pollen season!!!! 
It also bids adieu to the mosquitoes.
I’m definitely enjoying the World Series. The League Championship Series games in both leagues were amazing, and game one of the World Series was great as well. I really don’t have a preference, although I would lean toward the Texas Rangers because of that phenomenal series they played in 2011, losing in seven to the St. Louis Cardinals. A Rangers World Series would make Bruce Bochy the third manager to win a World Series in both leagues, after Sparky Anderson and Tony La Russa.
The hard work is done, so I’m going to go soak my aching back. Y’all have a great evening!!

Once the clocks get setback, and we return to natural time (instead of man-made time), when my eyes and circadian rhythm feel better, I relax again. I cannot wait to not have to endure so much sunlight.

I understand why they used to do it, but those reasons are obsolete. I did enjoy not having to fool with those things when I lived in Hawaii.

@FourWalls Yes, they are obsolete, which is all the more reason to not spring forward after falling behind this one last time.

the 2001 World Series from my then precious Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera. Nothing to do with it at all!

I’m happy to see that you’re completely objective about it.

Does this mean the Yankees don't have much of a chance this year? I haven't checked the sports page for a few days now.

Aaron Judge won the Roberto Clemente Award. That’s about it.

@FourWalls Well, that's something at least. Or, as my friend Donny would put: It really was a tremendous victory. Really. No one has ever seen winning like that.

@FourWalls Almost forgot. Every time I hear Roberto Clemente, I immediately remember his part in "The 7 Words You Can't Say On TV":
There are some 2-way words, like it's okay for Curt Gowdy to say "Roberto Clemente has 2 balls on him," but he can't say, "I think he hurt his balls on that play, Tony. Don't you? He's holding them. He must've hurt them, by God."

As you know, I hate the cold, the s**w and the shorter days. I may start my countdown to spring early this year. That was so nice of you to make a cat house. I hope pollen season is over for you now. I hope your back is better. Have a good rest of your day!!!

I did, but it didn’t help much. Meanwhile, I’ll just keep to the physical therapy exercises (which are helping).

Thanks, I am enjoying it. It’s not the prettiest thing in the world (the cat house) but it’ll hopefully serve the purpose.

I hope those stray cats appreciate the cat house you made for them.
Yes, it's cold here and nope I' not looking forward to the time change and it getting dark so early. I think I hate that more than snow

I live in an area that’s just on the eastern/central time zone line (the next county over to the west is central time), so it gets dark fairly late here. However, Nashville and eastern Alabama and Tennessee, both east of me geographically, are on central time so they’re “enjoying” 4:30 sunsets in the winter.

My friend, thank you for loving on the neighborhood kitties I hope that they use it,
I have no preference for the world series. I got disappointed family members who were hoping the Phillies would have made it. The pains of being a Philly sports fan goes on.
