Hello everyone! I've decided to open the lounge tonight and have had the kitties busy preparing some nice hot and spicy food to hopefully clear my sinuses! Order up, anything you'd like! We have a station set up for those with tamer palates, too! I'm having extra spicy scallops and a pineapple drink of some kind with an adult beverage mixed in! Order up, share your day and snuggle a kit! I'll be back after eating....

Hi, Lainey! I was making a very quick check before going to change clothes. Don't y'all faint in amazement, but we are going to a Kingston Trio concert tonight at the college. Yes, I know... I know... are they still alive? Well none of them are the original KT. But Mr. WWM used to play their songs on his 12 string guitar back in the day. And so, we are off.
I may need a martini after this!!!!

Lainey, I was gonna ask your question in all seriousness: who are the Kingston Trio? Are they Jamaican? In any case, I'd like a bowl of chili, some kimchi (Korean sauerkraut, in a sense), an enchilada buried in habanero cheese sauce, a bowl of vindaloo (an Indian curry dish), and a Bloody Mary with extra Tabasco sauce.

That would be fun, BB!
The boys are doing pretty well. They're a bit confused about the lack of furniture in our place due to the bed bugs, but otherwise okay. I'm weaning Bobby off the pheno and so far, he's doing well. We went from 3/4 pill twice a day to 3/4 once and 1/2 once a day for three weeks. Now we're doing 1/2 pill twice a day and after three weeks, we'll do 1/2 once a day for three weeks and then stop alltogether. No signs of seizures so far. Yay!

OMG, y'all - okay, I know that I am dating myself, but the Kingston Trio show was just so great! It brought back so many memories of the music before the British Invasion hit. They sang for like two hours and so many of the songs that all of you would know, but you may not know who recorded the songs. I guess the one that almost brought me to tears was Where Have All the Flowers Gone. It could be written about today and I remember so well listening to that in the early Vietnam years and just crying. Of course the guys that we saw tonight are not the original Kingston Trio, but worked with them and they have the same great harmony as the originals. Actually, the Kingston Trio was in their heyday around 1960 - before the Beatles. Lots of Peter, Paul and Mary's songs are actually Kingston Trio.
Bumblebee, when I first met Mr. WWM he had a 12 string guitar and played it beautifully. He named it Judy for Judy Collins. He had that guitar longer than me but when we moved from Ft. Belvoir, VA to West Point, NY it was stolen. Along with just about everything else that we had of value (which wasn't much). He's never played the guitar since, which makes me so sad because he was so good.
Well gang, I am off to bed. We are leaving tomorrow to take our bikes to Central Texas to the hill country. Have to get up early to pack.
Take care, and watch out Tom Dooley!

Get Out: Orionid Meteor Shower Peaks Overnight
Buzz up!1467 votes Sendspace.com – Tue Oct 20, 12:30 pm ET
The Orionid meteor shower is expected to put on a good show tonight into the predawn hours Wednesday, weather permitting.This annual meteor shower is created when Earth passes through trails of comet debris left in space long ago by Halley's Comet. The "shooting stars" develop when bits typically no larger than a pea , and mostly sand-grain-sized, vaporize in Earth's upper atmosphere.
"Flakes of comet dust hitting the atmosphere should give us dozens of meteors per hour," said Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office.
People in cities and suburbs will see far fewer meteors, because all but the brightest of them will be overpowered by light pollution. The best view will be from rural areas (the moon will not be a factor, so dark skies will make for ideal viewing).
When and how to watch
The best time to watch will be between 1 a.m. and dawn local time Wednesday morning, regardless of your location. That's when the patch of Earth you are standing on is barreling headlong into space on Earth's orbital track, and meteors get scooped up like bugs on a windshield.
Peak activity, when Earth wades into the densest part of the debris, is expected around 6 a.m. ET (3 a.m. PT).
Some meteors could show up late tonight, too. Late-night viewing typically offers fewer meteors, however, because your patch of Earth is positioned akin to the back window of the speeding car.
The Orionids have been strong in recent years.
"Since 2006, the Orionids have been one of the best showers of the year, with counts of 60 or more meteors per hour," Cooke said.
Some of those counts come in flurries, so skywatchers should find a comfortable spot with as wide a view of the sky as possible. Lie back and allow 15 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the darkness, then give the show at least a half hour to play out through spurts and lulls. Meteors could appear anywhere in the sky, though traced back they will appear to emanate from the constellation Orion.
Telescopes and binoculars are of no use, because meteors move too quickly. Extra warm clothing is a must, and a blanket and pillow or lounge chair allows comfortable positioning so you can look up for long stretches.
Reliable event
Predicting meteor showers is tricky because the debris comes from multiple streams.
Each time comet Halley passes around the sun on its elongated orbit – every 76 years – it lays down a fresh track of debris for Earth to plow through in subsequent years. Those tracks spread out and mingle over time, and we pass the tracks each October during our 365-day, nearly circular trek around the sun.
Japanese researchers Mikiya Sato and Jun-ichi Watanabe say activity in recent years is related to debris put in place from 1266 BC to 911 BC, and this could be another good year, according to NASA.
Even if that prediction does not hold, the Orionids will almost surely put on a decent show. Prior to 2006 and going back many years, the Orionids have produced a reliable 15 to 20 meteors per hour at the peak, for skywatchers with dark skies.
As a bonus, this time of year you can expect an additional five to 10 sporadic meteors per hour – those not related to the shower.
