Good News - Bad News

 

The good news is, the people have spoken…and things are not going to change a whole lot around here over the next four years.

The bad news is, the people have spoken…and things are not going to change a whole lot around here over the next four years.

The other bad news is I’m sitting here writing this right after what would have to be considered a pretty significant snowstorm, no matter what time of winter it occurred, let alone the first full week of November.

 

November?

The good news is my town rescheduled Halloween, for this Friday night—by proclamation no less.

Of course, the kids might need to wear snow shoes, but, hey…that’s the new normal on Halloween around here, these days.

I wonder if there was an actual fanfare accompanying the proclamation?

Or, maybe a juggler?

But still…jugglers notwithstanding…Halloween…the real Halloween...was blown away…literally…and now it’s been rescheduled.

Hey…if they can reschedule Halloween, I wonder if they can reschedule Mondays.

Move them back later in the week.

Just a thought….

So we all voted the other day…or at least hopefully we all voted.

Americans love to vote.

We vote on everything…music…TV…movies…even who the sexiest person in America is.

And thank you, by the way, for all your support.

It’s one of, if not the basic right we have as citizens of the US of A.

That and the right to have power to light up our Christmas trees and Hanukah bushes…which the way things are going might be problematic for some of my friends this year.

Yep…people are still struggling in the dark and cold.

The good news is it’s the same power companies running the restoration efforts as last year…and the year before that.

The bad news is it’s the same power companies running the restoration efforts as last year…and the year before that.

The way things are going it’s looking more and more like I made the right decision when I signed up for those post-apocalyptic survival classes.

I’ve become particularly proficient at sword fighting.

But I still need a lot of work on my catapulting skills.

I keep getting my thumb caught in the catapult thingy.

Not good….

I think we’re supposed to get locusts over the weekend.

But that’s okay because all the crops froze over in the snow and cold.

So let them come.

Locusts…like we care anything about what amounts to nothing more than a grasshopper on steroids.

But the good news is it’s supposed to approach 70 degrees this weekend.

The bad news is…well, I can’t think of any bad news about 70 degrees.

Hopefully, people without power or heat can open their windows and warm up their houses.

So that is good news.

And then I suppose it will warm up even more so then we’ll have a Thanksgiving heat wave…and possibly a drought.

I told you we’d be punished for letting Reality TV get out of hand.

You just can’t buck the natural laws.

If you do you just might end up with a mom named Snooki….
