Objects or Feelings?
Here's an interesting little task: Go open a big email you've written and copy the text. Then open the Gender Genie, and paste to find out if you write like a boy or a girl.

HAPPY
HALLOWEEN!
... and here's a scary picture sent that was sent to me ...
An evil dwarf, an intellectual, Johnny Depp -- the actor, and an activist.

People's perceptions are funny.
The truck had accumulated another 3000 miles so I had the oil changed this morning. That was all; no tune-up or new air filter. I didn't even have the other fluids checked --- just oil and a new oil filter.
I could swear it ran so much better on the way home!

Miss Manners? Nah, Never Had Any.
I was horrified to receive this email in response to Wednesday's message to Ronnie:
Dear Dennis,
I just got home, at 2 AM, slinking into my building with a KFC Dinner Box dangling at my side, feeling like a drug dealer, and lo and behold, I opened your blog. Well, well. A fellow 'junkie'. I had actually stopped at the Colonel's for a Snack Box ("no fries, please") and coleslaw slaw, and was overcome by temptation. Throwing caution to the wind, I went 'all the way'. And when I got home, I even reached past the diet drinks, and grabbed a non-diet Pepsi from the back of the fridge!! Now, that's serious. Barely 15 minutes later, I sit here smugly, picking at the bones and eyeing that awful bun, wondering if I've got enough non-diet Pepsi left to wash it down.
What can I do?
Clogged Arteries
Dear C A ,
I guess your dilemma involves whether you have enough non-diet Pepsi in the house.
If you're really up that proverbial creek, just pop open a diet, pour, and stir in seven heaping tablespoons from the sugar bowl. (Note: Sweet & Low is NOT an option.) Be warned that it will not taste exactly as expected.. but until you hide a case of sugar-ful, fully-caffeined, way-God-had intended-it-to-be, classic Pepsi in the back of the frig... then this is merely a temporary solution.
Yours sweetly,
Dennis, spokesperson for THWAT (To Hell With Atkins Too)

Dear Ronnie,
It was a pleasure stopping by last night. Lots of people tell me that I should be a little more discriminating. Yet it's hard to ignore you for long, considering we can meet at five different places within a 3-mile radius. I swear, I'd find myself in your company even more but it's too hard sneaking around and keeping secrets from family and friends.
Yet, there is a specific reason why I'm writing today. Sadly, I'd like to suggest that we seem to be on divergent paths lately. Are we growing apart?
Recently, you've started to hang up colourful posters of chicken fajitas and green (garden-fresh) salads. My tray liner extolled the virtues of your new light sesame Thai dressing. Your 'Outdoor Family Fun' brochure stated how the Fruit 'n Yogurt Parfait would fit into my 'lighter choices' options. I even noticed the dreaded McVeggie burgers are still on the menu board.
ENOUGH ALREADY!
I went there last night for a mega GREASE FIX. That Big Mac Meal with a Big Mac on the side fit the bill perfectly. Please stop visually assaulting me with pictures of food 'for a more balanced lifestyle'. When I want to cut back, I'll just refrain from super-sizing my fries!
Yours always,
Dennis

Leaves Leaving
There's not much of a foliage season here compared to back east. The deciduous trees are a smaller percentage of the forests. However, I took this along the New Westminster Waterfront yesterday. It looks a bit autumnal.

I was watching the morning news and they showed a segment on the newest animal at the Vancouver Zoo. I want my own capybara! (They are like hamsters but weigh 100 lbs.)

Where's the Gold?
Earlier in the week I caught this rainbow from the balcony. It's not uncommon to see them around sunset during this part of the year.
It's good that we had rain over the past several weeks and things are back to normal. The grass is green again and should stay that way throughout the winter.
