Good morning all!

Even with the wind & rain there were more Trickers-or-treaters last night than the previous 3 or 4 years put together!

Good Morning Jbuck and everyone. Wow - you must have hardy trick or treaters, Jbuck! We probably had the lowest number in years with the heavy rain and wind at the prime trick or treating time here. TGIF & Happy Friday you all! :-) It is hard to believe that we are already into November, sigh!

Good morning jbuck & Marianne. We don't ever get trick-or-treaters out here. Too far out of the way. The grandkids usually come, but our town does trick-or-treating at the businesses from 3 to 5 & I brought their bags of candy into work with me.

November already is right. Only thing good about that is the fact that Thanksgiving is coming. I love Thanksgiving, with Christmas right behind. And we're going up the North Shore here to spend a few nights on the shores of Gitche Gumee. Can't wait to just sit and watch the gales of November.

Have a great Friday!

Are you going up to Split Rock to see the lighting for the Fitz?

No trick or treaters at my house either, but plenty of 'tricks' ~ strong winds took down a couple of dead pine trees. Oh well, should've had 'em taken down long ago.:<

No trick or treaters in my neighborhood in southwest Ohio yesterday but late last night an F1 tornado did some damage in the city of Vandalia (which is about 5 miles from my home). Several businesses and homes were badly damaged.

Another F1 tornado did some damage to farm buildings in northeast Miami County (the county where my home is located).

Electric power to thousands of homes was interrupted until this afternoon.

Experienced my first deer hit tonight. Hope it's the last one too!

We had planned on doing just that, jbuck. However, I couldn't get the time off of work that weekend. Had our spot booked since last March or so. Pretty unhappy about that, so we're going the following weekend. Either way, it'll be fun to have a front row seat to Lake Superior in November.

JT...was that a hit by the band "Love does Bucks" from the 80s? :-)
Seriously, hope there was not too much damage done, that can be a scary experience. The road-signs are out in SE-MI...Don't veer for deer".

Love these Pasty slide shows. Oh, as of Nov. 1, 55 days 'till Christmas.

Janie, I hope you and whoever was in the car with you are fine! I hit my first (and so far only) deer when I was 19, in the piney woods of east Texas, driving my then boyfriend's Camaro, pulling his ski boat. (He didn't like to pull his boat.) I saw four deer on the other side of the highway, so I took my foot off the gas, and slowly pushed the brake. Of course all four deer crossed the road. I hit the last one of the four. It did significant damage to the right front end of the car, pushing it back, so the passenger door would not open. The car was drivable, though. The guy was just thrilled that I was driving, because his precious boat was safe. He was convinced that had he been driving, he would have jack-knifed the trailer.

They say in Michigan, that you are likely to hit a deer at least once in your lifetime. Our county sheriff put a column in last night's paper, giving people tips on how to reduce damage, etc, but do not swerve because that is how people lose control, and real injuries happen.

There's a good amount of damage to our car. The deer hit us where the driver door and front fender come together so the door doesn't open til Bob fixes it. Busted the driver's side headlight out and mangled the hood some. Just thankful it didn't come through the door's window as we have heard of that happening. Bob's opinion right after the hit was, "well we have a wrecked car and that deer won't do that again"
