    DAWN OF THE LIVING DEAD

    The sun was just rising east of my turret as I wandered down from my second floor condo.

    October is wondrous up in these parts; colors abound.

    I found a seat on a bench in the appropriate area, lighting up a home-made cig when the castle door began opening and closing spewing out other hobbling goblins.

    Now just as an aside, my Precious walks and runs (falling down from time to time for sure) whilst her one year-old sister hobbles. Jolee thinks she is walking of course but all eye witnesses will attest that the little cheribum really just hobbles.

    Now this aside reminds me that certain politicians like Palin or Jindl or Bachmann perceive themselves as walking orators when in fact, they are just hobbling gobblers.

    Anyway, back to the Octobrist horrors.

    As soon as each hobbler exited the castle, he or she (mostly shes) light up their cylandars of evil with their Bics.

    A few appear with walkers, a couple in wheel chairs...but most arrive hobbling on two legs.

    The smoke billowed from the two encampments; one facing the South; the other encampment is located on the east of this grand subsidized manor.

    And there is conversation amongst the residents.

    Many hobblers have what I call 'toy dogs'. In my mind dogs should be at least three feet in length (not counting the tails) and the buggers should leave gifts of at least one pound.

    However, toy dogs leave geese-like gifts that are actually more difficult to pick up with plastic grocery bags.

    I had a dog that was part wolf bred from more than a few canine ancestors.

    I had to dispossess myself of Fido when my second husband made us move from the country to a more urban setting. I gave Fido away to a new owner who was possessed of many acres permitting my pet to roam free.

    I should have abandoned my second husband instead of Fido.

    As the smoke continued to rise another member of my encampment noted how difficult it will be to remain in our places come winter.

    But I just received a smokeless ashtray. And that gave me an idea. I am now looking for an air purifier (demonstrating with her hand that the mechanism is about three feet high).

    We hobblers are all schemers in one way or another.

    THE END

    Dick, where have you been? People were getting worried. Welcome back!


    Hi Mike!

    My pc was not working and all of a sudden I was paying 120 bucks a month to my local cable/net company besides the sixteen bucks I pay for basic through my rent and....

    I found a phone for fifteen bucks a month at Target but it took me a month? to find a new net carrier and it ended up being at my local company. For eighteen bucks a month.

    Amazing.

    Anyway, every couple of years I just melt down.

    Thank you for the welcome back.

    I appreciate it.


    I'm sorry to hear about the melt down, but I'm glad that you've de-melted!


    Hey, Mr. Day. You had me worried.​
     


    Hi Oxy.

    Do not worry about me. I am still living, but almost dead. hahahahahah

    Nice to see you again.


    Are you going to follow the debate tonight? If so, always enjoy your commentary.


    Good to see you back here, Richard.  And in such fine form!  You were missed.


    Thank you Ramona.

    Always good to see you!

    You have a nice colorful day in Michigan!


    I sent you a card today because .....you've been gone too long.  Besides it is Fall and time for Halloween.

    Do you have any idea how many people have asked me about you?  I have been appointed your press secretary. LOL... 

    Actually I thought "a sabbatical" sounded more refined then a melt down.  


    Oh Momo you are the only press secretary I have or would wish to have! haahahah

    I had a melt down as I explained to Mike W. But I had some other economic issues also.

    I have melted just fine. hhahahahahaha

    I just know this.

    I can always depend upon Momoe. 

    YOU BETCHYA!


    I told them too about the money issues.  But that is a normal condition for me.  I would not have any issues if it were not for the economy. 

    Just think no KOLA this year because the cost of gas went down.  Like the price of gas matters to most of us.  

    I have Young Turks feed up to watch the debate.  I can't get CNN to work.  


    Oh how I love Young Turks.

    I cannot recall when that site was alluded to here.

    Do not worry about CNN.

    We shall be inundated with stuff from this debate and Youtube will give us all we need.

    Gas? Gasoline and in home oil costs are way way down.

    My son has just found new sources of income. hahahah

    It costs him much less to travel up here.

    And if this were a repub prez?

    anyway:


    YOU DA GREATEST GOBBLER!


    THERE YA GO!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAH


    Here I was, switching back and forth between the debate and the Mets baseball game and I missed your return.  Welcome back, DD.  I was one of the multitudes that asked momoe about you.   I am so glad to see you back. 


    You know, there are nice people in this universe. 

    AND MR. SMITH IS ONE OF THOSE NICE PEOPLE.
