Nearly Election Day

Hi all, are you as excited as I am that it's nearly Election Day? I am so looking forward to the end of the Presidential Campaigns. You have no idea.
I am also glad that the summer temperatures are behind us. In El Paso, autumn/winter means it's sunny and dry. The highs around here are 7o degrees with the lows in the mid 40's. It doesn't get much better than that! As soon as the night time temperatures duck below freezing, all the mosquitoes will be gone. Yay.
School is going well. My new classroom is turning out to be nice. The assistant director has relocated some of the computers out of the lab and into actual classrooms. This affords me more space to teach! And possibly room for any new students that may enroll.
And the sump pump (see previous entry) has finally been installed in the house in Indiana. One less thing to worry about.
The Dow Jones average went up 889 points today. We just love the roller coaster ride, don't you?
Dan will be out of town ('back of beyond') departing the Sunday after Thankgiving. But he still has a job, so that's good. His new couch was delivered last Saturday. And he found a kitchen dinette set advertised locally on the internet. His place is shaping up; furniture definitely helps.
He just returned from an autumn jaunt up Old Rag Mountain, Virginia; it's a grand hike he says, despite the 35 degree weather and the snow and the wind.
Happy Halloween to those who enjoy celebrating.
