  dear friends,.

  one of my greatest enjoyments is a daily walk.

  i see things in far greater detail than when i am driving by.

  It promises to be a gray, gray week while sky pelts rain, loosening the last vestiges of autumnal color from bare-armed trees . . .

  Still, there is a muted and solemn beauty in the 'hood.

  A Change in Weather

  continual rain, at long last, has ended another typically hot and dry summer, one that gave every appearance of extending far into a protracted indian summer.

  yet, october was unusually wet.

  this thanksgiving week promises daily rain.. an unforeseen sadness is creeping gradually, insidiously into the fabric of my life.

  Dear Esse quam videri:

  I've always been the sort that friends and family rescue . . .

  Glad it was you! Thanks so much for the good words and cute images -- they worked their magic. Truthfully, I do love the rain; I cannot understand why the change in mood.

  (SAD?)

  Best Wishes.

  i live in california where pot just became legal for recreational use very similar to alcohol.

  my wife who is a very active jw has had her medical card for cannabis for a couple of years now.

  and i know several in our congregations around our area who are using it medically.

  An unforeseen sadness is creeping gradually, insidiously into the fabric of my life. Dangling threads of a garment hanging loosely about my diminishing frame are unraveling more quickly than I can stitch them back together into whole cloth. Strange, this annual change in weather that I anticipate so eagerly always produces the same result upon my disposition.
  

  I love the cool and wet and dark . . . Nonetheless, I am saddened at the departure of sun and blue sky.

  Greetings, NikL:

  Thanks for sharing. I, too, live in the Golden State and have non-JW acquaintances who use it medicinally.

  Question: Would a JW have to take cannabis in a form other than smoking it? I just can't envision Sister NikL and other JWs with a joint in hand . . .

  Thanks, Terry, for posting this.

  Quincy -- his user name, lamallcool -- was a genuinely kind and respectful fellow. I appreciated his thoughtful comments on what I wrote.

  I'm sorry, Terry, for your losing such a good friend. It's a mutual loss, to be sure.

  Hi, there.

  We've talked punctuation before, and the deal is that the pubs are printed in American English. I was a proofreader at Brooklyn Bethel.

  I am not hurt that you received 4 likes and I received none regarding my similar but diametrically opposite comment.

  So, then . . . is there no Oxford -- penultimate -- comma in La Nouvelle Zelande?!?!?

  Your reply is most heartily anticipated. BTW, when visiting The Gold Coast, I did not employ the serial comma in my speech because I was dealing with severe misunderstanding of the Aussie spoken word and I had to let go of my usually necessary compulsions. Choose your battles . . . sigh. . . .

  PEACE, HEALTH, AND PROSPERITY

  I am impressed. Not only is the message alluring, but the use of the Oxford comma has me -- once again! -- at "hello"!
