YAWN 

You know what? I could use another hour of sleep tonight  

Yes, in North America it is that time of the year where if you have such a thing as Daylight Savings Time, it is coming to an end in a few hours. I do find it funny that since tonight we are getting an extra hour of sleep, so to speak, there is less bitching than if we were losing an hour  Oh sorry, putting forth a compelling argument without any emotion involved. Is that better?  

Yesterday was Halloween 😮 Did you dress up, and if so, what as? No, it did not get sheet faced, much to the disappointment of some people here. I think I ask this yearly, so I will ask again, how many trick-or-treaters did you get? I"m keeping a yearly total to see if the numbers are going up or down  One friend mentioned he picked up a couple of the 50 box of mini chocolate bars and he went through them all. His roommate came home with like a box of 30 full size chocolate bars. He said they mainly get teenagers so he got the bigger bars. End of night, no big bars got handed out to big kids, so they are in his bedroom for snacking  

For some reason I can't stop yawning 🥱. Not that you all are boring me . 

Okay, so a nice quiet week for me to wrap up, but still a big week in what was done on the GA News Blog.

Tuesday, Myr went a diving. I wonder if he ever swims above Niagara Falls .

Now what was I talking about a big week? Well this is the final week of our very well participated in Yearly Anthology: Creature Feature. Get your reading all in now:

2 or 3 blogs if you count the Wrap Up, but we did have 7 Words of the Day:

rationalize, jot, persecute, ingest, faux, predicate, ethics
