69 and cloudy on Halloween?!? What's up with THAT? It better get cold at night. When I was a wee bonny bairn, my mum had to sew our costumes two sizes too big so we could put them on over heavy coats and snow pants. We often had to wear boots because we'd get a dusting of snow. Of course, this was Up North, but still.
It is supposed to be a lovely mix of rain and snow the next weekend, though, and that is lovely.
In honour of Journal Poetry Day, I give you one of my favourites:

"Evening Star" -- Edgar Allen Poe
'Twas noontide of summer,
And mid-time of night;
And stars, in their orbits,
Shone pale, thro' the light
Of the brighter, cold moon,
'Mid planets her slaves,
Herself in the Heavens,
Her beam on the waves.
I gazed awhile
On her cold smile;
Too cold- too cold for me-
There pass'd, as a shroud,
A fleecy cloud,
And I turned away to thee,
Proud Evening Star,
In thy glory afar,
And dearer thy beam shall be;
For joy to my heart
Is the proud part
Thou bearest in Heaven at night,
And more I admire
Thy distant fire,
Than that colder, lowly light.

The gun I reblued was my shotgun, sadly enough I had to because it was the first gun I got and I went hog-wild with turning it into a "gangster style gun" I sawed off the barrel, put on a folding stock and a barrel shroud. Being that I "altered the barrel" (a felony) I had to reblue it so it wasn't as easy to tell. I've learned from this whole thing though. NO MORE MODIFING MY GUNS. Plus people at a skeet range laugh at you when you're the only one using a "ganster style gun" and everyone else has a legit "bird hunting style" gun.
