We first came across the Tron Guy this summer after friends from southern Indiana sent us a link to his website.
He looks disturbingly like hubby Bruce. Not really... but his glasses and mustache are quite similar to Bruce's.
This weekend we came across a video in support of Net Neutrality that features, among other Internet celebrities, the Tron Guy. If you watch the video with your eyes closed, you'd probably think the featured singer was quite talented. But, something about the visual negates the quality of her voice.
Enjoy the video. And, I hope the song doesn't get stuck in your head. I'm about ready for a lobotomy to try to remove it from mine. Tron Guy appears about a minute into it.
Nature is a bit confused right now. There are still leaves on the trees because our first cold snap came quite late this year.
But, today we have about an inch of snow on the ground, and the branches.
We've dragged all of the Christmas decorations down out of the attic. Today would have been a good day to put up the outside lights, but we're holding out, hoping that tomorrow will be a bit warmer.
I guess I should feel sorry for mom-in-law Judy as she seeks refuge from the bright sunshine of south Florida while we're enjoying the first snowflakes of the season here in Elkhart, Indiana.
It's the time of the year for wearing buffet-eating pants. You know, the kind of pants with a stretchy waist band that expands to accommodate an extra serving of mashed potatoes and gravy and pumpkin pie with whipped topping.
Today was my second Thanksgiving dinner of the season and next Thursday will be my third.
This one was especially enjoyable because we were Grandma Meyer's special guests at the Institution. The cooks were up all night preparing six 20-pound turkeys and all of the trimmings for the residents and their loved ones. We were pretty amazed that the staff took care to match the flowers on each table to the residents' outfits. Wow... that's attention to detail. There are many things to be thankful for this time of year, including the view out the cafeteria window. What a beautiful display of fall colors. After dinner we were treated to a private piano recital. We are most thankful that we are able to celebrate the holidays with Grandma.

Climbing up on the roof to blow out the leaves from the gutter is one of the last chores of the fall.
It seems like the leaves are very reluctant to let go of the branches this year... many are still clinging to life.
Our burning bushes are the last in the neighborhood to turn red. It appears that someone took a swipe at one of the bushes with a chain saw.
The chimney sweep came out earlier today to scrape the creosote out of our fireplace. Now we just need to put away the lawn furniture and stack the firewood on the patio. Then, we'll be ready to settle in for a long winter's nap.
