Another day, another Silver Alert. This one was for a white van with an Alabama tag. It frightens me to think that some elderly driver could be lost so far from home.

Daylight Savings Time ended yesterday, and I'm sure it's going to take me all week to get used to it. I find it's unusually bright when I head to work in the morning and extremely dark when I head home at night. Of course, it didn't help that I was away from home for exactly 12 hours.

I was out of town for five days, four of which had mail service. I received three campaign fliers: two for a candidate I had voted for, and one urging me to vote for the opposing party. With Election Day tomorrow, I'd say that's it for this season. (Although you never do know. There could be some latecomers at the end of the week. But, I hope not.)

Atlanta was great: The weather was cool, the play was enjoyable and spending time with friends was fun. (But, no, I won't be going back up there for Thanksgiving.)
