Sweatshirt

As I pulled my Southern sweatshirt out of my "winter clothes" box this morning, a thought occurred to me...

This is the first fall I've experienced in 5 years!

Sure, they have fall in Tennessee.

But nothing compares to a real New England autumn.

The crisp Northern air.

Vermont's Green Mountains and New York's Adirondacks turning into a brilliant painting.

Fields turning gold as crops mature and ready for harvest.

Ah yes, I'm ready to experience Vermont's seasons again.

Bring it on! =)

Late Laughter

I should be in bed...actually I should have been in bed long LONG ago haha

But I had to share this before heading off to dreamland.

A little laugh to brighten your day or night =)

...

This was an actual radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations, October, 10, 1995.

#1: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

#2: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

#1: This is the Captain of a US Navy shop. I say again, divert YOUR course.

#2: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.

#1: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER ENTERPRISE, WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW!

#2: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
