Have you seen those remote control helicopters?  My grandson just got one and he has had an absolute blast with it all day long.  He’s only 4 and can’t fly it very well so his Daddy (who is disabled) spent most of the day trying to help him fly it.  Talk about a little fella getting mad, now he would when his Daddy would try to get it from him to show him how to do something with the remote control.

I tell you what, it was worth every single penny just to see the shear joy on that baby’s face while he was playing with it.  The only thing that got him away from it was food and as soon as he was finished eating, out the door he went.

I was just watching the news and I do believe it’s about time to pull out the darn old jacket.  It’s supposed to be in the upper 40’s in the morning.  That’s getting just a little past chilly if you ask me.  It’s just before down right cold in all reality.  Oh well, what are we to expect with it being October after all?

October is followed by November and that means that Christmas will be here before you know it.  I better quit thinking about it before I get the desire to ‘go shopping’!!!

I didn’t know they had anti-bear spray but apparently they do.  It seems a can of it went off in an airport in Juneau Alaska closing it down.  It got into the ventilation system and instead of running bears away, it ran everyone out of the airport.  They even had to take one person to the hospital.  The airport was closed for a hour and a half because of the anti-bear spray.  This stuff comes in a canister like pepper spray and is supposed to stop an attacking bear.  Well it works on people but I don’t know about bears.

My neighbors kids are spoiled absolutely rotten.  They just got one of the neatest wooden swing sets I have ever seen.  Really the kids are great kids and I didn’t mean to imply they weren’t good kids.  If my kids were still small, I would have loved to have gotten them a swing set like the one the neighbors got too.

Well I do have grand babies that visit so I still might check into getting one for my yard after all.  There’s nothing I like better than hearing children laughing.  That’s the sweetest sound there is.

Did you hear about the pig in Australia that was holding a woman captive in her home for 10 days?  She had an outhouse (an outside bathroom for those of you who don’t know what that is) and couldn’t even go out to the bathroom without this 176 pound pig attacking her.  The 63 year old woman is an animal lover and said the pig they called ‘Bruce’ kept head butting her bedroom door demanding to be fed.

Okay, I love animals too.  I especially love pork Bar-b-que and bacon.  No animal is going to keep me held hostage in my home.  Not even an animal I raised and loved.  I’m sorry but it would have been taken care of one way or another.  It wasn’t even her pig.  It wandered on to her property 11 days earlier.  The animal was finally captured and taken to a piggery where he will do a stint as a stud.  I still think the woman should have at least gotten some bacon for her misery.
