If Chappy were to become a state — and I think that the subjunctive case is proper here as Chappy has yet to achieve statehood — then I believe it would be neither a red nor a blue state. No, I believe it would be more of a seagull gray. And the state would vote accordingly.

Well, they went off to see the Wizard. The Wizard of Oz, that is. Hugh Schwarz, his daughter, our cobbler, Nancy MacMullen, granddaughter Dawn, all travelled to Bridgewater State University to see Hugh’s grandson, Duncan MacMullen, who served in the Marine Corps, play the title role in their school play. I can’t think of a better Wizard! Congratulations, Duncan.

Well, Jack Frost hit us on Tuesday night and what was left of the summer flowers are now done for the winter. I also heard people saying they had finally to break down and turn on the heat.
Happy birthday to all who celebrated their day this past week. Big balloons goes out to Joshua Brown, who celebrated his day Oct. 31, and to Thiago Muniz, who celebrated his day Nov. 2.
