Not going to argue with a Nobel Laureate:
Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring.

Next week temps will be in the 70s. Last few Corvette driving days accompanied by deck cleaning and protectant application.
In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine October.

Another beautiful Fall Day coming up !!
It was a beautiful bright autumn day, with air like cider and a sky so blue you could drown in it.

Yankees are in the Series. GO YANKEES !!! Games tonight and tomorrow to see who plays: Dodgers or Mets. In times like this, one must consult a great baseball thinker:
It's never happened in the World Series competition, and it still hasn't.

Chore week coming up. Mostly clean the deck and spray Thompson's water seal on it.
I've been looking over the list of spring chores I made up last fall, and darned if they aren't fall chores, after all.

There's one drive in place still open. We're scheduling (maybe) the last ice cream social of the season for the Corvette Club.
Every American may have equal access to ice cream, but there's no guarantee that the outcome of eating ice cream will be equal.

Car show this weekend at the Saratoga Auto Museum. They're having a display of Ferraris.

World Series starts tonight at 2000 on FOX. Regardless which team you want to win, its NOT going to be a cakewalk for either one. Remember this:
You don't just accidentally show up in the World Series.

PS: GO YANKEES !!

NY teams are busy tonight: NY Giants play Pittsburgh on MNF. Unlike last week, I hope the Giants take the right bus to the game. NY Yankees play game three of the World Series at "The" Stadium. Hoping for "Bambino Vibes". Meantime a quote from someone who's been there and done that:
I played for 18 years, but the only thing that meant anything to me was the World Series.

Enjoying a few days of Indian Summer. (Warm days after the first frost of the season.) Rumor has it we may get some warm days in November also.
The perfect weather of Indian Summer lengthened and lingered, warm sunny days were followed by brisk nights with Halloween a presentiment in the air.

Yankees had a decisive home tun filled game last night. Fans can only hope that team shows up tonight. Series is now 3-1 in Dodgers' favor. If Yankees lose another, they play golf.
Staying with the baseball theme:
Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games

Yankees managed to lose a five run lead by making a bunch of "tee ball level" errors in the next inning. Suffice it to say, they probably have tee times lined up for Friday.
You have no choices about how you lose, but you do have a choice about how you come back and prepare to win again.
