We have not seen the first snowflake tonight but the news has announced that schools are closed tomorrow due to a snow forecast. That’s a little crazy to close them when it is just predicted. But then again, it will be so much less stress in the morning, worrying about whether the kids have school, whether they will be safe on the bus, whether school will have to close early and all that.

I hope we do get a little snow so the kids can have some fun for a day playing outdoors and so it was worth closing the schools.

Why is everyone talking about vampires and zombies? I have seen reports of a Zombie Walk in Toronto and even here in downtown over the weekend. Why would people want to get dressed up like they are dead? It makes no sense to me. And the vampires! Why would anyone want to encourage the idea that some people have been transformed into monsters that drink your blood and either kill you or turn you into a fellow monster? What good can ever come of those kinds of stories?

This afternoon a beautiful German Shepherd came trotting down the street in front of my house. I have no idea who he belongs to. He obviously escaped from a loving home. He was well fed and wore a collar. As much as I love dogs, I’m not going to approach one that I do not know. But I hope he went back to his home and did not get into any trouble while he was running loose.
