Nice afternoon to go hit some golf balls
The power went out in our building this morning. So, we did what all self respecting employees would do - we went to lunch early and then went and hit a bucket of golf balls. The power was turned on just before we got back (good timing). I hadn't hit a golf ball in a long time. I did discover that I liked the higher tees - so I could actually get the ball off of the ground (about half of my shots basically rolled about 75 yards, nearly the rest went about that far in the air and a few actually got over a 100 yards).

Welcome to October!
Today started as a great day - bouncy and everything. I got going a little later than I'd like and there was a major accident on 128 south today (about three miles from the exit I needed to take to get to work, I drive north so the accident was on the other side of the road). Pretty serious accident - looked like an economy car plowed into the back end of some other car. The economy car used to have a hood and engine compartment - now it's just a short little lump of metal. The other car ended up in the breakdown lane and appeared that all of it's glass was missing and there was a firetruck right in front of it. I didn't see smoke... but it didn't look good at all - I don't think any accident can look good. A couple of ambulances were on the scene. Just have to pray for the people involved.

Driving 128 I see weird things once in a  while. A couple of days ago on the way home, a leather chair was in the middle of the road. A friend of mine saw it a few minutes before me and it was just sitting in the second lane. But the time I got there it had been hit once and was over in the third lane. You never know what you'll find when you're driving...

In any event, Welcome to October! It's a great day! Spring will be here soon.

Cute little guy - just munching away on a leaf.
