After a long layoff I started walking again and you are right on the money. After just one week of walking every day I feel better both mentally & physically. I've been going after work but once we change the clocks I'll be going on my lunch hour.

This is so true. When I was a 20 year old kid I had a POS job at a small restaurant and I would get an hour (a lax, hour - I could take a 90 minute break on alot of afternoons) and I would drive right down the street to a local trailhead on nice days and take a leisurely 30-40 minute walk through the woods (it was like the perfectly timed loop.) Was always an awesome break in my day at the time, instead of just sitting there on my phone like coworkers would typically do on their breaks/lunches.

Could not agree more, even 15 mins home work out or 30 mins walk or whatever is much much better than nothing. You go for a short walk on 3 consecutive days, that's 1.5 hrs you skipped if you stayed home...adds up in the long run.

New York, New England Ration Heating Oil Even Before Peak Winter
The US Northeast is so short on heating oil that the fuel used to power home furnaces is being rationed even before the start of winter.

I rattle the back door before I step out onto the patio. You never know what is slithering or flying in AZ.
Hope your remodel is progressing. I just saw a glass shower door go past my downstairs office, so we are nearing the finish line on our bathroom

HA! Nothing. Kitchen was destroyed about 2 months ago and it's been like that ever since. Supposedly the guy doing the bulk of the work is coming over this week AND bringing a plumber along. We shall see!
EDIT: However, the ongoing mouse battle has been slowing down. In the last month I am around 25 caught. Foundation is being blasted with a few cans of spray foam today. My traps are catching less and less, and the rodents are getting smaller and smaller

If the rodents are getting smaller & smaller you're in the home stretch- no more babies cause the parents are all deceased. Just get rid of the survivors and you'll be in the clear.

Skated on the Garden Ice today for the second time. Seemed so small,must be the framing of the stands.

Ference is my binky
Having coached (mites game before a game - for my now 24 year old son!) in the Garden and skating numerous times at Gila River here in AZ, I think you're exactly right. So much around you, and right up to the boards, that the ice does seem more confined and smaller.
guess which one is me.
in Salem for some Halloween vibes. Definitely some folks ‘ way out there’.

Trying to sleep and my ceiling fan is making a noise like a kid on a pogo stick
Skwunch eeee skwunch eeee skwunch eeee
But I also can't sleep without the fan on.
My Monday has apparently decided to start on Sunday night
I have the Hatch alarm clock and I love it. I can’t sleep in silence so have it set to play a light pink noise when I sleep and come time to get up I have ocean waves and a sunrise lamp. All controlled from my phone.
I love it.

I've thought about getting a sunrise lamp. I never use an alarm to wake up. Been known to sleep through a fire alarm before... you know, the industrial shrieking type.

I just got a notice from Yahoo that I've been on it for 21 years.....time flies when you're having fun.....
I used a Yahoo account my first year in high school solely to play pool and chess. Then i realized that in my keyboarding class i could finish a lesson in 10 minutes, and would use the next 60 minutes for gaming. This is before everybody had a cell phone, so i told my father i would be in a specific yahoo pool lobby at xyz time, and we would play yahoo pool against each other for an hour.
I still remember the lobby name. beginner bistro
Allegedly a juror in the Brooks case posted on Reddit last night and now things have gone off the rails in the trial.
Whomever did it says it was a prank and now the cops are involved. Dopes.

Is anyone else getting a ton of spam phone calls this week?
Every day I've been getting both robocalls and telemarketers calling about supplemental Medicare Part C. I'm in my thirties, I don't have Medicare. I have no idea where they get their info because they do ask for me by name too. I don't know. I'm just going to start ignoring all calls from numbers I don't recognize.
