Another prank gift:






October 27, 2019

Damn! It was dark this morning.

Our power was out from 7:30 until 1:15. A car slid on wet leaves and struck a power-line pole.

It's a good thing our coffee was finished brewing.

I spent this morning reading a book written by Steven and Owen King ... Sleeping Beauties

How was your Sunday morning?

Jeffrey Epstein Dies By Suicide In Manhattan Jail





NEW YORK, NEW YORK — Jeffrey Epstein, the Manhattan financier awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, committed suicide in his cell at the MCC Manhattan overnight, ABC News and The New York Post is reporting.

News of Epstein's death comes just over two weeks after it was reported that he was found injured in his jail cell in a possible suicide attempt.

Epstein had been denied bail by a federal judge, ensuring that he would stay in jail. His lawyers lawyers requested that the court let the financier stay under supervision in his sprawling Upper East Side mansion, where federal prosecutors allege that he sexually abused several teenage girls.

NEW YORK – The Empire State has become the first in the nation to make declawing cats illegal.

Governor Andrew Cuomo signed it into law Monday, threatening anybody who performs the procedure unless its medically necessary with a fine of $1,000.

"Declawing is a cruel and painful procedure that can create physical and behavioral problems for helpless animals, and today it stops," Cuomo said.

"By banning this archaic practice, we will ensure that animals are no longer subjected to these inhumane and unnecessary procedures."

Why do ticks love me?

We pulled one black tick and a smaller reddish tick off me before they dug into my skin.

About In_The_Wind

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieve it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. ~~~~~~~~~ For, it ends in the blink of an eye. Carpe Diem (Seize the day)!
