Trick or Trick & Trick again...!

and yes, those are the Teeth she was born with...

Looking at photos on line and I realize Halloween is a big deal!

And it is Halloween Eve

• I was never one that liked answering the door
• Greating the little buggers who never said "trick or treat"
• Then greating the parents that were always standing near the little buggers
• Then you would get the Teen-agers who would show up after 9PM!
• with No costume

I told a story recently about when Michael & I were trick or treating on Boudinot Street.

Michael went to one side of the street, I went to the other side (the side with the odd #'s)

I knocked, the door was opened, I said "trick or treat" they said Trick!

• about 5 guys (teenagers) threw me on the floor and stole my bag of candy
• I think I was about 11.
• Met up with Michael on the sidewalk & told him not to try that house.
• Michael said nothing, just continued his Harvesting of candy on Halloween.

I went back home, never mentioned anything to anybody, got a fresh A&P bag and 

went on my own quest for candy...I was dressed as a bum that Halloween, Michael was also dressed as a bum. John never went trick or treating, Alyce always dressed as a Princess but she just stayed in her room, Timmy was way young at the time & stayed home to give treats away with Mother, Eddie was about 2 and was listening to WIBG on the radio in the kitchen and playing air guitar

Dad was directing traffic @ 8th & Market every Halloween night I remember...

and these nutty grandkids are totally into it!

can you name the costume?

Nobody comes to Blossom Hill on Halloween night

& I am not complaining.

What a fiasco!

So the Blimp ( but not called a blimp by the Military)

disengages itself from a tether in Md & takes 

an unpersoned flight to PA?

And the people in charge sent up F16's to look for it!

By the way, the Blimp is 100 yards long

and is part of a $2.9 billion

government run anti whatever program.

I was riding with my friend Able

when we saw the thing go down.

This is what we know about the heavens

9 planets surround the Sun?

How about the other side of the Sun?

How about the Dark side of the Moon?

BUT! if we recycle, cut off Fossil Fuel,

stop exhalling CO2, and eat less

meat the Oceans will cease to rise

and the Glaciers will not melt.

Do you honestly believe this crap?

oh boy oh boy...

I bought a $15.00 pair of slippers last month at Kmart

And i keep getting inundated with

shoe Ads!

Do people actually wear Wing-tips?

30 years ago I probably would have bought these shoes.

I unknowingly chewed up my glasses while attending a Conference on Global Warming run by Liberals @ the local library...listening to their drivel I got to thinking of my sauce...

My spaghetti sauce is not good.

It's store bought stuff.

How does one go about 

"making spaghetti sauce from scratch?"

I can make some pretty good meatballs

Sauce I do not do well.

The Conference lasted 2 hours.

Day light saving time ends on Halloween.

Then we get another Winter.

John Denver . I still visit his Music.

I was listening to this song. I like the John Denver stuff. First heard his name fron my Big Brother who was in College & told me that The Chad Mitchell Trio performed @ St. Francis College and
this guy stole the Show!

Anyway, I am wondering if any singers, song writers or musicians out there can transform this song from a Trucker coming home to a Soldier coming home.

just wondering.

Ophelia by the BM's which has been featured before on The Gpeablog

And their video is now being shown as a cover for the nasty reaction &
critique of the Pea recommended Movie that was

Very good movie. Have you watched it?

I saw it on one of Maureen's premium channels, I think HBO, but it may have been Showtime.

but for you Netflxers I highly recommend it.

Begin Again is a 2013 American musical comedy-drama film written and directed by John Carney and starring Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo. Knightley plays a singer-songwriter who is discovered by a struggling record label executive (Ruffalo) and collaborates with him to produce an album recorded in public locations all over New York City.

To me this is a relaxing song & a Good one....

Annie also is relaxed, check out the lower right corner to see how relaxed Annie is...

Muggles does not participate in the in-house sessions...

I think I could fish lakes. Ocean fishing I don't do well

A Michigan fisherman broke a 109-year-old record for smallmouth bass in what was the state’s sixth record catch of the year.

Greg Gasiciel of Rhodes, Michigan, was bait-casting a green grub at Hubbard Lake in Alcona County when he hooked and landed a 9.33-pound smallmouth bass on Sunday, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources announced Tuesday.

This is where Alcona County is in Michigan...

Nice Hoodie...

Mike Trout

Do you think Mike has any clue who Maxie is?

For Blog posterity sake...The worst play ever devised in Grade School Football, High School Football, College Football, or Pro Football !

The Colts coach said, "!@#$%^" we needed another blocker.

Who is Trump's go to T shirt & embroidery person?

Verses from Sir Walter Scott's The Lady of the Lake, including "Hail to the Chief who in triumph advances!" were set to music around 1812 by the songwriter James Sanderson (c. 1769 – c. 1841)

The Trump campaign shelled out $822,000  on the logo-emblazoned gear that he sells on a website and routinely tosses to supporters at his rock concert-like campaign events.

I'm thinkin' he will bring back the Hail to the Chief

arrangement when he is elected!

Blue Jays vs. Royals...

we saw it. Took a photo from our Hotel room. We looked at each other

and said we need to go there. 

we were tired...an 11 hour drive day. But there was a Game.

So we walked to the Seadium.

Yep

So Jason & I know the layout of the Stadium.

We did not walk back to the Hotel,

we waved down a cab.

And the Royals beat the Blue Jays tonight

5-0

And if you ever drive cross country, drive with someone

that is not in a hurry..

Like stop at a Rest Stop and shoot some prarie dogs with your bee-bee gun, or whatever.

It is a beautiful country we live in

and I would never shoot a prarie dog.

They are cute...sorta like a squirrel is cute...

We need to bring back that Yard Game Croquet.

Only photo of Billy the Kid ever seen.

And that Evil William Koch paid over $2million for it in 2011!

Now we have some others. And I do Love this old Wild West stuff.

For $2 dollars spent in a junk shop somewhere in California...

Linda and Randy Guijarro.

Collector Randy Guijarro told CNN affiliate KSEE in August that purchasing the photo was a last-minute decision.

"I had just a couple of bucks left, and I found three photographs I liked, and of the three, the oldest tintype, I actually kind of chucked it back in the box," he told the station.

But he said he heard a voice in his head urging him to keep it, so he did.

The Koch brothers are saying they will not be bidding.

They say the Photos are too indistinct

and the $5 million asking price is absurd.

Plus...

they are not Croquet fans.

'Homeland Is Racist' Graffiti Artists Sneak Messages On The Show

One of my 5 favorite shows got snookered. Homeland hired 4 Arab grafitti
artists to paint the Homeland Set...This is what they drew:

The Art work pretty much said Homeland is Racist!

Homeland is not a Series.

Homeland is anti Arab.

Surprisingly, no Director, Producer, Stage Hand or Actor had the grafitti checked out.

The critics of Homeland are ROFL about the Spoof.

Do you think the 4 Arab grafitti artists will ever be hired in Hollwood again?

Did you know that Oct 15 is Grouch/Grumpy Day? I did not

So if you are living with or know a Grouchy/Grumpy person, flip 'em off Today!

Old fashion Dinner Patry

Luke's 1st Tournament on 10 Foot baskets!

5 seconds to go, Luke on the line to shoot 2.

His Team is down 17-16

and the other Teams Coach was caught on Camera mumbling,

"why did we put Luke on the Line?"

Luke nails 2 from the Free Throw line & they Win The Tournament!

Trust me on this. I don't have video cause his Dad does not know how to use the Internet.

But I do have a "still photo".

I saw the International Live Feed from the BBC and I saw 7 year Luke nailing both Free Throws!

Big Trophy to prove it & Luke is the guy on the right

I am sure you do not sit in the same room with a former High School offensive/ defensive Lineman when you watch the Eagles on TV .

I do...

He constantly talks about the Offensive Line

and how Chip has to quit the scheme theme 

& let them plow ahead!

Sorta like this Sports Reporter reported today in the Newspaper..

"With a nod to the state of the offensive line, Kelly had the team do more basic, straight-ahead blocking than it has been doing. With the need to get the running game heading downhill, he put quarterback Sam Bradford under center more often. "

The former high school lineman

pretty much nailed it with the 

just let them loose & straight ahead block

whatever that means...

I just wonder how football players learn all those plays...So much regimentation & motion involved!

Oh... and the guy on the left in the photo was also

a football player & actually once scored a Touchdown...

You really should watch at least some of the Baseball Playoff action. Tonight, Chase Utley broke somebodys leg...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — New York Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada broke his right leg when a takeout slide by the Los Angeles Dodgers' Chase Utley flipped the shortstop in the seventh inning of Game 2 of the NL Division Series on Saturday night.

The weather report from LA before the game was:

• 90 Degrees
• Clear skys
• 22% Humidity

Jimmy Rollins said it was just "Chase being Chase"...

Oh yea, and I believe the umps called Chase Safe after further review...

I noticed there were some ants around

I bought a few ant traps...to No effect.

ended up being "a whole lot of them ants"

My Landlord delivered me a Box full of 

anti-ant stuff.

Ants were gone about 40 hours later.

It got really gross with hundreds, if not

thousands of ants coming out of the wood work

to sip on the TERRO ant poison.

Now they are gone.

Does your Landlord have a box full of ant poison laying around?

What is a "safety squeeze" and how did it enable the Cubs to beat the Big Bad Cards tonight?

I know what it is because I played for Big Jack for one season of Little League & it drove
the other Coaches Crazy!

1. The safety squeeze - Baseball By The Yard

   www.baseballbytheyard.com/the-safety-squeeze

   In a safety squeeze, the runner on third base does not break towards home plate until he sees that the ball is bunted properly. In this case “bunted properly ...

   
   

   

   
   

   Joe Madden (the cubs mgr) used it twice tonight

   in the same inning & the Cubs scored 5 UnEarned runs!

   
   

   The Cardinal infielders had no clue what to do with the 

   ball they caught. 2 errors. The Pitcher then gives  up a

   Home run, puts his head in his hands in the dugout

   and gives up...I loved it...Small Ball. 

   
   

   
   

   Cubs ended up winning 6-3
