Cushioning with cheer

Well, it is the beginning of fall and the season of frosts. This year, we had, and are still having, road construction and repairs. At one of the "go slow or halt" stop we were treated (or subjected) to a stand up comedy. The gentleman came with a smile and so I rolled down my window. He asked me, "How do you catch a unique rabbit?" As I didn't know, he answered. " Unique up on him." This was followed by, "How do you catch a tame rabbit?" Do I have to give the answer?

I think I felt treated. My standards are not very high as I share that rural trait of bolstering cheer. Human nature is slightly sad; so it is not too bad to lace it with cheer

Bus run on a long long postcard.

It was that kind of day; blue sky, well lit clouds and still greenery. Not a stir in the tips of the conifers. We started at the bus station, Orin, David and I. I told Orin, "I will tell Grandpa you say Hello." He replied, "You tell Grandpa I say Hello." We were impressed with his change of pronouns.                  
I boarded and sat beside this wide panel of glass for the trip to Antigonish which would take from 11.20am to 6.50pm through,what felt like, flat space of sky and forest. A window of time to read A Confederacy of Dunces which I picked up in New Orleans, when I went there with David and Tiresa.                                       

More luck with green peppers this year. Leisurely picking now as we move towards Thanksgiving.
