One more bush hog will do it for the year.


George W. Bush Hog,

Some of the trees around here are already dropping their
leaves.

I think I heard my furnace kick on for a minute or two this
morning.

While walking the puppy this morning, I noticed that the
morning dew on the grass felt much colder than normal as it
slowly soaked into the sides of my slippers with each step
I took.

The puppy noticed this too as it tried to keep it's paws a
little bit dryer as it attempted to do it's imitation of a
Clydesdale show horse slowly trotting with those high leg
kicks.
(Front left and rear right paw touching ground while the
remaining two held high in air and then nimbly alternating.)

I thought I could hear the crickets shivering instead of
its normal chirping song. Some of those chilled singers
have been trying to immigrate to my garage and eventually
sneak into my warm basement winter resort.

My border patrol kitty cat has been rather busy rounding
them up as they try to enter without the proper visas.

Even the birds seem a little late greeting the sun in the
morning. Seems like they do what I like to do during
these chilly mornings in bed. They probably hike their
downy blanket a little higher and find something warm to
snuggle up to.
(I wonder if they are able to make their wives jump much
they way I do by touching the top of my cold feet to the
bottom of my wife's warm feet.)

Speaking of blankets, for the past few mornings I've
noticed those low lying white cloud blankets that cover the
valleys and pockets. They sit about a foot off the ground
much like a day old helium balloon floats barely above the
carpet.

As the sun comes up you can watch the blanket lift off as
the ground awakens.

My calendar told me that yesterday was the first day of
autumn.

It's pretty neat how the earth seemed to know this, too.

P.S. Is that Frank P. Hoosen's yacht that you are going
sailing on? See if he has any more stock tips. I hear he
likes SEBL.
