I've been a Marlins fan since they were the Miami Marlins in the 50's playing at Bobby Maduro Stadium in the Allalpattah section of Miami. I also went to an Eagles concert there and learned what it's like to mix marijuana, wine, and rock and roll in the infield.) And Carol and I collected all the paraphernalia when the Florida Marlins won the World Series in 1977. It's wonderful to see Jeff Conine playing still with that winning team. I'd love to see the Marlins win the Series this year; they're doing it the hard way this time, without all the big money players.

MY WORLD AND THE WEATHER TODAY
Indian summer is over. The fields still have remnants of the golden glow of the past three weeks. Is there anything more beautiful than the prairie in fall? I have my first cold of the year, but it's mild and hopefully will quickly pass. I just realized there's no storm window on the small window over my head. It's on the north side of the house, so that 's an important repair item. I can see the blue sky, bare limbs of trees reflecting the sunlight and the wind moving past them all. This is a good time to begin the book. I promised Kristie, my webmistress, that I'd have the chapter outlines to her by the end of the month. Perhaps I can start here.

RANDOM THOUGHTS:
I have lunch weekdays with the Senior Citizens. We always say table grace before our meal. At the Senior Citizens Meetings (2 x a month) we give the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. These simple, sweet acts never fail to make me tear up. These are values that shaped me and I'm grateful.
St. Paul's Lutheran celebrates 120 years this weekend with food and good will. /we eat in the Church basement with the women of the ELCA doing the cooking. Men sit together at tables on one side of the room and women together on the other side of the room. It's not sexist: they like each other and because most are from surrounding farms, they don't get to see each other that often, and they love to visit. "Visit" is a special engagement that occurs in aisles in stores in Aberdeen, in cafes in small towns all over the area (in Federick, the men meet for coffee at the Community Store at 8am daily and the women follow at 9am). And they visit. It stitches us together as a cloth of tolerance, support, help, and certainty in uncertain times.
It's pheasant season, so we have dozens of men with guns and dogs from all over visiting family and/or friends .... as well as regular out of towners who come back for sport every year. I am keeping my mouth shut most of the time.
more later, love Yoda SoDa/shirley/ teeny to my family
It's time to buy cookies from the Girl Scouts and evergreen wreaths from the high schoolers for their band fundraisers. Everyone buys at least one thing from every kid. It's that way in a rural community.
