First, wishing everybody a good Samhain (whatever *good* means in this context for you).
Second, 'tis the migration season. I saw two bald eagles riding the thermals today while I was up in Maple Grove...where I'd just scored the last of a bolt of black spiderweb lace with red skulls at the local Joann's. Not quite as much as I would have liked, but *enough.* Getting to see the eagles was WAY cool though. I don't usually see them quite that far from the river.
Third, can we somehow get stores to STOP referring to their customers as *guests*? Being called a guest pre-suppposes a relationship that does not exist. I am not your effing guest, I am PAYING you for goods and services. I am your CUSTOMER. I expect to be treated politely and with respect. Being called a *guest* offends me on a very deep level. OK, /rant.
