The leaves look fantastic and vibrant and full of life today in shades of yellow, orange, and red. #
Good news about the US removing North Korea from the terrorist list. Perhaps that will begin dialogue. We know that no dialogue doesn’t work #
Did the final pruning of the season. Now about to get the grinder to begin to mulch it all up. Natural good looks. #

Watching La Gioconda at the Met. #
The singing and set in the opera are good, though the story is a bit silly. Does it really need 3 intermissions? It is not Wagner! #
Connecticut just overturned the state’s ban on same-sex marriage http://tinyurl.com/4qrdkb #
At the Apple Store in the Meat Market. Supposed to be trendy, but I find it cold and inpersonal. Need a drink . . . #
I think the Apple Store is so busy because of the free Internet on the laptops. Good way of attracting a crowd. Wonder if anybody is buying? #

I have been really disoriented this week as a result of my Windows reinstall. Have been reinstalling programs as fast as possible, as needed #
@be_b You seem to have an interesting degree program. What are you researching now? #
Working on an audit form. #
Had no idea creating an audit form was so gruelling. #
@be_b It looks like an interesting program. How did you find yourself there? #
Looking forward to the opera tonight. Will be my first one of the new season. #

Penguin Rescue; Good News in Dark Times

It is nice to know that given such dark times in the world (global economic meltdown, a US war on two fronts, a horribly long and negative presidential election campaign, global climatic change and warming, deteriorating US respect throughout the world, etc.), some really good environmental news for a lost colony of 373 penguins in South America: Flight of the penguins: Rescuers return wayward birds home – CNN.com.

We should take a lesson about working together to solve global problems from this.
