How are you celebrating Halloween today?
Wearing all black. Tonight? Drinking too much wine while handing out candy.
What would you attempt to do if you knew you could never fail?

Run a marathon for sure.
I am loving the Robert Olen Butler thing.
Why do you live where you live?

It's beautiful. Mountains, lakes, rivers. Pretty close by plane to actual real cities if you need a Seattle or San Fran fix. We have four distinct seasons, low crime and not much traffic. But please don't move here. I don't want it to get crowded.
You got that right horoscope!
"A potentially irritating situation takes a turn for the delightful when you're around. Your dry wit is exactly what the circumstances call for. Operating on a canny blend of instinct and observation works for you."
"It's too bad the 4th is on a Wednesday this year."
"Yeah, but you can't really move it."
I just have to say I love the guys at Commercial Tire. There are so nice and helpful and never condescending when I ask things like "But where do I put the wiper fluid?" or "Oh I thought that brakes were supposed to make that noise". Plus they hardly ever charge enough or for little things if I just pop in and say "Help!". They always say "Just come in some time when you need tires." Which of course I will. They are great. Oil changed and tires rotated on Babycar. Drivin up to the river tonight and catchin some fish.
Speaking of great customer service, the gentleman at the Idaho State Liquor Dispensary was also Mr. Helpful. (In Idaho the state runs the liquor. Supermarkets cannot carry liquor. Not sure if it is like this in other states?) I got some Crown for fishing weekend and he said "Want to save some money?" Here I am thinking "You got some business on the side?" and I'd go buy pilfered alcohol out of his truck in the alley but instead he pointed me to some whiskey he claims is indistinguishable from Crown and $1 less for twice as much. Now if I were going to be sitting around sipping this I would go for Crown. But since it's just getting dropped Red Bull I'll take savings. I got both though to do a taste test.
Outside the liquor store a poor unfortunate soul who appeared homeless saw me and asked if I might have a dollar. I said I'd look. Here I am carrying out $50 worth of booze and therefore feel compelled to give him some money. I found a dollar. He said "Thanks I really need a beer." I hear ya buddy. It's hot out. Poor guy he looked like he'd seen better days. I have so much and he doesn't. I have a house, a car, a job, health insurance. I am very fortunate. Best of luck to you sir.
