Smoking Haunted Bookshop in my Dad's Meerschaum. Kieth Fields was the toughest man I ever met, and a good Christian. He worked as a Powerplant supervisor for 35 years in Southern Indiana. This week he passed away and went with God. I love you Dad.

Had full intentions of blowing more leaves out of yard. Had a wind from southwest so it would have helped me move them nicely......
But..... an old friend from Germany was in town and wanted to do some riding and you know how "obliging" I am, so I tossed Titus on the trailer and headed off to ride. Long ride and very good time in beautiful weather.
So, when I got home, I decided to have some Orlik Flake in a Ranz Morta poker, made by Ron Smith of East Tennessee. Decided that sparkling water was a bit tame, so I had some Knob Creek 9 year old bourbon with a splash of water. Nice combo for contemplation........

OMGoodness. An unexpected victory pipe of Capstan Gold in a Shire Aragon. It was crazy around me as the Aggies win 31-30.

I was shocked to see South Carolina go into A & M's field and play them that close. But, if you look at this season, SC, who has only won 3, has played everyone tough as nails.
Could you believe Oklahoma went into Tuscaloosa and beat Bama???

Near the end of this bowl of 1970s Heine's Blend in a cheap, but effective, undated, unbranded slight bent smooth dark brown short shank Made in France Los Alton VBF billiard with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Tomato the Brave came in to eat his wet food, and I had to feed away from Harry the Hairy and Norton the Nosey. Harry got a little irritated at Norton sniffing at him, and gave him a hiss. Norton ran back to the end of the kitchen. Norton started to bother Tomato by standing a few feet away and staring at him. Tomato went out as soon as he finished eating. Harry followed him out. I called for Daisy the Feral Princess, but she didn't come until Tomato and Harry came out. Norton was being nosey about what she was eating, and I figured he wanted some of that wet food, too, so I gave him his own plate away from Daisy. She's on the couch on her favorite blanket now. Norton ate her leftovers and came over to where Daisy is. She hissed him and he stopped moving. I moved him to the pillow that he likes to snooze on, and hope he quits being so nosey. He's trying too hard to be friends with cats who still view him as an intruder of their territory.
