monday again!!
Amazing!!! 18 comments yesterday! Birthday wishes!! All you guys are swell!! I never got 18 comments before!! Made me feel Popular! Thanky yous to all you fine folks!! Made my day!!
Answer to my pal, d-manz: well, i got 20 u.s. dollars from doyle the manager! that was a suprise!
I've always been happy to see October show up on the calendar. Not only is it my birthday month, but there's a certain change in the air that comes and goes with the fall, something more than the drop in temperature. It's all the expectations of a new school year, hayrides, sweaters, football games, changing colors, the smell of burning leaves in the wind and gluttonous little kids dressed as Satan; there's just a magical quality about the whole month.
Of course, over in Los Angeles the seasonal change is minor, although those leaves, they are a-burnin'. In fact, fire has ripped through the outskirts of the city for most of the past week, destroying something like 25,000 acres. Beats the hell out of the leaf piles we used to burn back in New York. Luckily, the L.A. County Fire Department has announced that the whole thing should be 100 percent contained by 6 p.m. tonight.
And they're just in time, as today is World Habitat Day. On this day, the UN asks that people everywhere direct their attention to providing adequate housing and a sustainable living environment for all. The first step in providing adequate housing? Make sure it isn't on fire. Good job, L.A. County -- the UN likes what you do.
Any Jewish firefighters still running their hoses at 6 p.m. will have to take the first available engine home as Rosh Hashanah begins tonight at sundown. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, a time to reflect on the past year's deeds and pray for good fortune in the coming months. Today is also the official Day of German Unity, a holiday marking the 15th anniversary of German reunification. Germans will doubtless use this day to reflect on their past deeds as well and then try to avoid eye contact with the Jews.
In other havoc related news, today is also "Dine for America" day, a Red Cross fundraising effort in which participating restaurants nationwide will donate their profits to those affected by Hurricane Katrina. Bully idea, I say -- forget all of these benefit concerts and TV specials and let Americans do what they do best: stuff their faces with deep fried animals and buttery mashed potatoes. Shit, if the Red Cross were really serious about it, they could rebuild New Orleans with the profits from just one Hometown Buffet!!! $5.99 breakfast, $6.99 lunch, $8.99 Dinner!!! Time to Eat!!!!
Some folks have commented in my new haloscan, and they have come up anonymous. I don't hava clue as to why this happens! also, I dont know what to do about it! Don't despair; theres an answer somewhere! when i find it, i will let ya know!!

FACT OF THE DAY
Today in 1594 saw the battle of Glenlivet, where 10,000 Highland troops under the Earl of Argyll were defeated by an army of 2,000 commanded by the Earl of Huntly. The battle was sectarian in origin - Catholic v Protestant - proving little changes over the centuries.
