Autumn chill

Hit 29 degrees last night.
Yesterday, picked what is probably the last of the tomatoes and raspberries, and a couple of buckets of pears (more to go).
Was 70s earlier this week- adios to that.  High 40s today.  Brrr!

Chauncey, aka Chance, is doing fine and getting used to things around here.
Cute and friendly, but still no kisses.
No accidents in the house, but did get off his harness the other day- ran to back door.
Not very playful really, but definitely loves attention.  Some separation issues.
I really wanted to get another, but will probably wait until spring.

Parent-teacher conferences went without any sort of hitch.
Not many parents, but not a big deal.
Finished up grading and started lesson plans- still have to finish.

Otherwise, slept more than 10 hours last night.
Feeling better, but not 100% yet.
Gym this morning (a bit slacking, but went), but been procrastinating since.

Presidential election next month- still on the fence.
Not a fan of Obama with his "blame game" mentality, but he's not that bad.  I believe he does have the interest of the "working poor" in mind, but he pushes the "entitlement" envelope too much.  I think his idea of "transparency" is not very transparent at all, with many things coming to light after-the-fact.  I believe he is too soft on foreign policy, particularly with terrorist-states, and on the economy (too many bail-outs and programs adding to the national debt).  He did repeal DADT.
Unsure about Romney, but I lean towards the conservative.  Sometimes I think he is an ass, aiming his words to a particular group of voters and ignoring others.  He is business-minded, which could be good for the economy and foreign relations.  Still, I see him stealing from Paul to pay Peter and not admitting to it.  I like Ryan though- he is a future President.
Numerous predictions of a tie- which means the Senate and House make the final selection, which could lead to Romney being President and Biden as VP (Biden is Clinton-esque, as in Bill- not a fan at all).  But Hillary Clinton could be VP, and I'm OK with that.

Procrastination over.  Things to do.
