I had Monday off for Labor Day, but my wife did not. So, I tried to do things around the house.

One of the things was refill my wife’s beanbag chair with more beans. We had ordered more beans, but not yet put them in.


The problem is, it is difficult to hold the beanbag chair open while putting in beans. I ended up using a staff we had around to prop it up.


Afterwards I found that the trash pickup doesn’t come on holidays.


And, the hurricane just south of us made for a very windy day, which didn’t go well with unpicked up trash.


i decided to go look for Pokemon up at Greenhill park in Worcester.


They have a lot of stuff on the beetles that took out a lot of trees in Worcester a while ago.


It is also where they built the memorial.



One thing I don’t remember seeing on any other memorial is letters from the people killed to their families before they died.


They also had a memorial to the dogs used in the war.


It is a nice place.


But, I don’t think I’ve got to worry about the ice there just yet.


It was very windy. My had blew off several times.


And, the storm was clearly down south of us.


It stalled there. For most of the week it spun off our south coast and rained on us.


It made for some interesting clouds.




My flying dog has been sinking. This week it was just about shoulder level.


One of the guys at work asked to borrow a cable to charge his phone. It was still there the next morning.

I guess it was fully charged.

There have been lots of turkeys on the town common lately.


There hasn’t been a soda sale in a while.

But, this week there was!


But, they were sold out of my favorite cookies so balance was maintained.

Extra sad as I use them for bribes at work…

Friday was game night, and off we set.


Not a lot of folks showed up this month.


It was a nice evening.


But, we moved in from the dark and bugs to eat.


We first played with some old "character battle" books we used to have back in the 80’s.


Then, an Adventure Time game.


Today we went off for Chinese food for lunch.


Then, when doing grocery shopping we found something for the sword troupe.


Somehow I broke the chip in my Amex card. They will send me a new one.


And, I went off for a Pokewalk. More about that elsewhere.


The turkeys were still there.


But, some guy decided to chase them.

No, it wasn’t me…

People left a big mess in the graveyard. I guess they’re not afraid of ghosts…


It was a nice sunset!

I love it when memorials remember our service animals as well as our servicepeople.

that's quite a heap of trash there in that pic. From how many people is this and is this a weekly amount? (if so, that scares me!!)

You live in a place where turkeys just randomly walk around?

As the crow flies (no silliness intended) you're not really all that far from me, and I'm pretty sure there are no turkeys anywhere within a 300 mile radius of me.

Amazing what a few degrees of latitude will do.

I am not brave enough to chase Turkeys. They look nice but I am not a fan of their gobbling. I was startled by a large Turkey gobbling when I was a kid and that fear has been with me ever since!
