Finding Balance

Happy Halloween!

Joy’s sister Kitty sent us this, I’d give proper credit to the source but not sure where it came from originally.

This year, we won’t need a pumpkin

We’ll just carve one of the tomato-monsters instead.

Is your couch prone to unsightly breakouts?

Couch tumor

Whatever could this be? Winter doesn’t seem to know, either.

It appears to weigh at least 16 lbs, which narrows the possibilities down a bit.

Knogle???

When I went to fill up the old platypus this morning before heading out on a run to Bryson City, I noticed the following neatly printed sign on every pump:

Knogle?

I thought maybe it was a typo, or maybe nonsense graffiti someone added, but it was the same on each sign. WTF is a knogle? Maybe a nozzle… except the sentence makes even less sense that way.

This is a warning that there is no warning

The following weather alert is showing in our weather toolbar right now:

“…FROST/FREEZE INFORMATION…

ENOUGH INSTANCES OF FREEZING TEMPERATURES HAVE OCCURRED THIS MONTH
TO EFFECTIVELY END THE GROWING SEASON ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS…AND
ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT OF THE CAROLINAS. THEREFORE…
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG WILL NOT
ISSUE FROST OR FREEZE PRODUCTS FOR THESE AREAS UNTIL THE GROWING
SEASON RESUMES IN THE SPRING OF 2009.”

Yeah, the black shrivelled basil plant kinda tipped us off that the growing season was over, but thanks for warning us… or, I guess, not warning us?
