What a fall!

Well all the pretty leaves left the trees today with our high winds. But I have to say that it isn't so bad as what is happening in SoCal. I'm in shock when I hear the reports and watch the videos. Seeing the pictures reminds me of the time I lived in La Jolla and it saddens me that over a million people have been evacuated and so much of the area has been burned. As much as I understand that it is a natural thing and it will all grow back, just nature's way of rebirth, that doesn't seem to make it seem any better to watch all those poor people. Ok, I'll admit it, it saddens me to watch the pets being rescued or hear of the ones not. :(! Please, everyone keep these people in your prayers. For southern California, it is as bad as what happened in New Orleans, it is that devastating. Keep the pets in your prayers, too, please!

Ok, enough heavy stuff: What do you get if you cross a duck and a goose? A doose, or a guck, or a goock. I can't decide. We have a pond in the middle of campus that last week during our cold snap didn't have our Canadian Geese that are always there, I thought they may have moved on. A few days later, ducks took over. Now there are a gaggle of geese floating intermixed with the ducks. I walked by them the other day and I wondered if they would ever interspecies mix and if they did, what would we call the result. Anyway, I was tired of thinking of serious stuff, so I let my mind take a break.

Hope you are all enjoying your fall. I have nothing to complain about here...:)!
