NATIONAL HORROR MOVIE DAY. I’m not a fan of horror movies. I’ve never seen “The Texas Chainsaw Masacre” or the many “Halloween” movies or any other gory movies like those. I did watch one movie that was supposed to be scary. I watched “The Birds” and I laughed all the way through it.
MEDICAL ASSISTANTS RECOGNITION DAY
SWALLOWS DEPART FROM SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO DAY. I wonder if the swallows know this?
IPOD DAY
NATIONAL TV TALK SHOW HOST DAY. I don’t care for talk shows. Top of the list as the very worst one ever produced would be “The View”. I saw about 12 seconds of it once while flipping through channels and that was enough.
NATIONAL MOLE DAY. We’ll eliminate any visions of a burrowing creature celebration immediately; National Mole Day recognizes a special number in chemistry. Chemists and chemistry students mark the occasion each year on October 23rd. More specifically, the celebrations take place between 6:02 AM and 6:02 PM. In the U.S., the time and date are written 6:02 10/23. The time and date are derived from Avogadro’s number. Avogadro’s number is approximately 6.02×10^23. Hence, defining the number of particles (atoms or molecules) in one mole of a substance, one of the seven base SI units. A mole is a unit of measurement used in chemistry to express amounts of a chemical substance. Avogadro’s number is a historical term closely related to the Avogadro constant. The Avogadro constant is named after the early 19th-century Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro.
We finished our voting in our pumpkin decorating contest at work. Last year, I got first place for my “bat cat”, but this year, I came in third with my blue-eyed bear. I wish we could post pictures here, but my Facebook friends will be able to see the pictures of all 4 entries. I’m okay with getting third place. I think the first 2 place winners had better pumpkins than I did anyway (though the winner actually decorated a couple butternut squash rather than a pumpkin). Anyway, I got a decent prize which was worth more than I spent on my entry. I spent $2 for the pumpkin and I decorated it with a piece of fake fur that had been sitting around my house for years. And the eyes and nose were made with buttons I already had around. So my total cost of decorating the pumpkin was just the $2 I paid for the pumpkin. I think everyone got the same prize (every entry got a prize). It was a Halloween trick-or-treat bucket filled with one scented candle (warm apple pie scent), a bottle of liquid hand soap (raspberry scent), and a handful or two of assorted candy. There was also a $10 gift card for Jersey’s Mike’s subs. That was quite a surprise. The only thing is, I don’t eat out and I’m not really into subs (too much extra stuff on them like onions – I HATE onions) and I never even heard of Jersey Mike’s. I’d sell the gift card in a heartbeat if someone offered to buy it from me. Anyway, the contest was fun and I’m glad I entered. I almost didn’t enter because at first, I couldn’t come up with an idea how to decorate my pumpkin.
Maybe Lily would do a better job of protecting Oliver. It was nice of Jack and Chesney to offer their help, though. On another note, saw four nuthatches, five juncos, a Steller’s jay, two squirrels, a raven, and a caterpillar while out walking today.

As my Dad used to say, " He’s all bluster and no muster" for a long time I couldn’t figure out what mustard had to do with it.

Well, ghosties and growlies can’t compete with Lily, so you’re as safe as you can be, Oliver!

For Chesney and Jack, Lily is scarier than any ghostie or ghoulie or thing that goes bump in the night.
