Saved a few sterile wrappers as stuffing for the Body, which goes out later today. I should call him Mat. Since he'll just be lying there.
Got a call from the survey people right after we'd already voted by mail. Old mayor is trying for a third term, and he's a pompous bully. New candidate was a State Representative, female, gay, very politically savvy and connected. I answered that she had my vote. Asked if her being gay affected my decision. I said, only because it had proved she was a fighter with some courage. It doesn't matter that she's gay. It matters that she's gay, out, politically effective, with a proven record of representing all her constituents.
Now, how well she'll do is yet to be seen. But Old Mayor is a turd, and needs to be removed. The other candidate I would love to have seen win, didn't make it past the primaries, sadly. Such are politics, which is why I avoid them as much as possible.
Can't just idle today, not sure what I most want to get done. As the air cools, I wake up and want to bustle about.
Expect an update with photos later.
And here it is...
And the glow-in-the-dark skeleton.
*His job in processing is being outsourced. So he applied for, and got, a position in the IT tech lab at the library. No more very early morning, self scheduled shifts. Lots of weekends and odd times, dealing with the public. Shoved right out of his comfort zone. He'll be fine.

a. the body? what'd i miss? i do have a rather nasty cold, so if this is an obvious question, please forgive me. and if you have killed someone and are about to stuff them, well, i promise to keep mum!
b. canadians just had a federal election in which the majority of people made a decision to vote someone OUT rather than voting someone IN. i hate it that our system forces strategic voting, but such is life. nothing is perfect. at least our particular turd is no longer bringing shame upon our quiet little nation.
pc,
A friend will help you move, a real friend will help you move a body. This is just a Halloween... display is maybe a better word than decoration. Had to wait until close to the day, and make it a moment of oooooohhh!!! ..... oh. So, not too realistic on second view, so no one called the cops.
Heard of one Halloween display, a body hanging on a porch. Turned out not to be a decoration, but an actual guy who'd committed suicide. Wonder if he'd intended it as a fake-out.
I so get the vote-out thing. I really wanted Luke Garrett to actually be our mayor, but I think he was a bit idealistic for the election process. I did vote in Rocky Anderson when he ran for mayor many years ago. A tireless scrapper of the first water, and a very effective official.
