The Professora & I went to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens yesterday. They had an exhibit of scarecrows, some with scarily bad punny names. I'm not sure what flickr did with/to the order, but the names should be at or near the pictures. I hope y'all enjoy them. In between, of course, being very, very afraid.

To, of course, the tune of "Don't Fear The Vacuum."

about 50 seconds in. Some things shouldn't be done, even to bagpipes.

Monday afternoon, ze spouse & I went for our now-habitual cave-walk and had a marvelous time.

Tuesday, however, we saw something that overset our habitual equanimity. In front of Lake City Municipal Hall [City City Hall being saved for inspired silliness, such as The Tick], they had almost finished setting up the large, artificial Christmas Tree. On October 23rd.

It doesn't need Ivan VorPatril to opine, That's Just Wrong!

A couple of miles down from our house is the bustling town of Lake City. Every day on our way to take a walk at Reynolds Nature Preserve [see anything here--http://www.flickr.com/photos/24609723@N08/sets/ --that says "Reynolds"], we drive past the Municipal Hall. (Because Lake City City Hall would be too silly & straight out of "The Tick.")

Last year, they began putting up the massive-yet-quite-pretty-at-night fake tree the week of October 17th; the Christmas figures went out early in the week of October 24th. The figures came down at the end of January, the tree in mid-February. This was the year *after* the snowstorm, so that was no excuse for the delay.

As the most notorious inhabitant of Reynolds might inspire one to say, "What the duck?!"

I've been meaning to start this series for a while. The brain-splodey finally overflowed, so here we go.

I'm on swapping sites: paperbackswap.com and swapacd.com. To facilitate de-hoarding [and maintain fun ego-boo], for everything ordered, I offer something free, books & cds both. Folks tend to stick to what they initially ordered, but some figure out the other's available, too.

It's usually fairly typical: the person wanting the Carpenters cd requests the Barry Manilow. Then the Tito Puente cd wanted the Sudden Death cd. Er-? Double-take and all that. This morning was the coup de grace; the Ella Fitzgerald cd wanted the Abba cd. Hence the brain-splodey.

Color me Cute When Croggled; too bad there's no mood icon for that.
