"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."
-L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

Heading home early to handout candy on the autumnal street pictured above...The Whackadoodle and I will set up shop on the lawn...I will try not to scare anyone with the guitar....

Throughout, it will be a Kit-Kat and Coffee-Crisp Dinner which is following up on the Root Beer Float afternoon we had in the lab for my belated birthday.

What a wonderful world.

E., who is beavering away in a red brick/leaf-lined library 2500 miles away, will get the citations galore inference I reckon...Although, it may be a wee while before she's willing to laugh about it...
Update 11pm: All done....Dog is walked and it's time to turn in....But, I've gotta tell you....It was like all the Brokoff's in the world were on the loose out there...So many kids with so many incindiary devices that must all be let off before the night is done...

Just had R., who is beavering away in a lab 2,400 miles away, and her guy G., doing the same in a different lab 1,900 miles away, here on the weekend. (They are working toward ending up in the same city.) After 10 months in Central Florida, she too was glad for fall, hills and trees.

Paul--

Two academics, same city....Good luck to them!...My own personal experience with central Florida, albeit limited, would suggest that if you are anywhere near Disneyville, you would not be allowed out into the places where the trees and hills would be even if they were there...

Anon--

Hmmmmm....Let's see...2,500mi X (8/5 km/mi) X 500 Pierre's/km = What.... ~2 MT's....

How's that?

Root Beer Floats?
What, they don't have Tahiti Treat back east?

RossK said...

That blood-coloured bilgewater?

Clearly, it is not from a tropical isle, and it is most definitely NOT a treat...
