Voices whisper in the trees, “Tonight is Halloween!”~ Dexter Kozen

Part of the storm preparations. (The disco tub half full with water we might have needed if the power had gone out.)
Sandy didn’t quite live up to her hype here in the Bogs. I am grateful for that. I know she was much, much rougher on those closer to where she came to shore. Family and friends back east are without power, but everybody is okay. I am most especially grateful for that.

(Pumpkin decorations added in Picmonkey.)
The so-called Frankenstorm, Hurricane Sandy, is on its way. We’ve already had quite a bit of rain from the cold front moving through, although it’s hard to tell now where the rain is originating. It’s currently moving north and west (or coming from the south and east), along with occasional gusty winds. Perhaps some of Sandy’s outer bands are already here.
On the Towpath Trail

In the spirit of Halloween, I thought I’d have a little fun with the photos I took on yesterday’s bike ride. I started my ride in Akron and ended in Peninsula where I caught the train back to Akron. It was a good ride. Almost 14 miles when all was said and done. I did get a bit chilled out there. The temperature, close to 70 when I started, dropped about 15 degrees while I was riding. My fingers and toes were numb when I finished. It felt good to sit by the heater on the train and thaw out.

Change is on the horizon
Those persons are happiest in this restless and mutable world who are in love with change, who delight in what is new simply because it differs from what is old; who rejoice in every innovation, and find a strange alert pleasure in all that is, and that has never been before.

Looking down from the floating boardwalk. Prince Edward Island.
Last week I left us standing on the floating boardwalk in Greenwich, part of the Prince Edward Island National Park system. The floating boardwalk takes you over Bowley Pond and eventually to the beach.
