Nightmares from yesteryear

And now a word from our sponsor;








Kids. They wear the darnedest things on Halloween.
Oh I hope it is Halloween. Lord, it better be Halloween.


Leatherface, the family is here for the group photo.




No. Just plain no.



 Who needs horror movies?
This "kid" would scare the crap out of me. 
Especially if he was a fast runner.




 And, the girls. There is something in the barn they want to show you.



And the one thing that  should scare every civilized person in Freeland...








I could win






Now last, this:
who is this?
I would sooner have faced a dozen skeletons  than this somnambulist.

Autumn again

So,

Here we are, summer gave up. It's over. Didn't even have to call John Cena or C.M. Punk to tag team summer to the mat.



You want to get morose and vaguely disgruntled?

Summer 2017 is over. How many more summers do you have left? Most people have E-Tickets to 60 or 70 summers, how many have you burned through? Humans don't remember that Saturday when you did the laundry and mopped. (Remember that day mom cleaned the bathroom and dad cut the grass?             Me either) Humans remember the "out of the ordinary, " (Remember that day we went up the coast and saw all those horse-shoe crabs, and that one big one with the barnacles on it's back? then we went out for a fish fry, one of those joints Mr. Swanky got food poisoning from? YES! I got the  clam boat, it was awesome!)

That Mr. Swanky, he knows every cool, non-snobbery eatery between the Aberdeen Proving Grounds(1)  and Kittery Maine.
And as far west as Hattie's shack in Saratoga Falls NY




PS the fry cook at Hatties beat Beat Bobby Flay in a fried chicken cook-off, July 22, 2006






1) Aberdeen Proving Ground, also known as APG, is an Army post located on 72,500 acres in Harford County, Maryland. The installation touches the Chesapeake Bay, as well as the Susquehanna and Gunpowder rivers. Created and opened in 1917, APG is the Army's oldest active proving ground.

That is where they test weapons, bullets and stuff that goes boom and smarts like the dickens if you are near by.

But I am not feeling so good these days, I got a fever, and the only cure is more cow bell
