next door to paradise

There’s only one thing I like about Halloween and Wal-Mart: candy corn flavor saltwater taffy.

Wonder of wonders. Cooler weather arrives in South Florida. This is the first time we’ve had the AC off and the windows open in six months.

My ‘94 Toyota pickup just hit 75,000 miles yesterday. That works out to an average of 5000 miles per year. Tidy.

Instant karma, South Florida style: As I pull into the grocery store parking lot, an old lady in one car doesn’t like the speed that another old lady is vacating her parking space, so she lays on the horn. And it sticks. I was in the store for ten minutes and when I came out, a security vehicle had pulled up and the guy was under the hood, pulling the wire from the horn. So much for haste.
