October Winter

Well, it seems that we did get a bit of winter in October.  I sure do hope that we will get a small reprieve before full on winter comes.  As it is, we have to look at the white stuff for a minimum of 4 months.  If this is the start, combined with an "el Nina" we may have close to 6 months of the white stuff.  Sigh.

I did get a lot of winter prep work done, but, it seems there is always some thing left to do.

The horses find that going out in the rain to do their "business" is just too much, so much easier to do it inside.  Besides, more work for mom!  Yeah.

I need to run into town to drop my ballot in the mail.  Don't have a single nice thing to say about politics or politicians, but, to do nothing, to not vote, seems rather foolish.

I also need to get my hair cut.  It's odd, my hair dresser is a recent convert to a new political party and she has plastered her business with political signs.  That combined with her need to talk about it, seems rather foolish to me and truly disturbs me.  Yes, I disagree with her, but, that's only part of it.

My grandfather was both a business and community leader.  While he had no problem letting people know his political thoughts as a private citizen, he believed to use his business to promote politicians, even though they may have been good friends, was foolish.  His business was open to people of all persuasions and to force people to pass those political signs to come into his business was tantamount to flipping half of his customers the finger.  He refused.  May have pissed some of his friends off over the years, I don't know, but his customers were more important.

It's one of the few political ideas that I agreed with my grandfather about.  So, do I find a new hair dresser? All I want is a hair cut, not a political debate.  Yeah, I probably will find a new hairdresser.  Better do it soon, hairs starting to drive me crazy.
