Good Morning. (Or, since it is just afternoon in parts of Europe, Good Afternoon 
.)
Well, I challenged the slow slide of indoor temperatures by firing up the forced air furnace. High Noon yesterday, and I asked DW to be outside for awhile and I had some things to do. It was 63°f (17C) in the closed up house so I pushed the thermostat up a few degrees higher and checked downstairs. Yep, it started - out we go. Back in an hour, I pushed it up again and out again. Seemed a little dusty after another hour.
It was 69f (21C) and DW, on the phone every minute throughout
, complained that it was too warm. Mind you, we had a high of 73 (23C) outdoors 
. I turned the Dyson air purifier more directly her way (she soon moved). The thermostat was turned down and by bedtime temp was back to 67f.
It's a fairly well insulated little house - it is just that nearly everything in it has been cooler than our outdoor highs for days on end. Outdoor air never quite hit Unhealthy from wildfire smoke until this morning. Everything is just a slow slide with the WService saying we have wind at zero mph ... from the N. I'm under a throw blanket but it's Breakfast Time!

30F when I left for work this morning. The main area where we have a space heater is staying around 60F. The rest was in the 50s. Had coffee for breakfast and planning on a cup of green tea when I leave work.

Halloween is just around the corner. The snow level is not supposed to be dropping below 3,000 feet over the next 7 days but I'm wondering if our stormy weather next week will result in snow down here for the trick or treaters ...
There's a book in the library that I'm thinking of taking out that just might get me in the mood for Trick or Treat Night. It's called The Apparitionists by Manseau. The book is about this guy:
William H. Mumler
Great name, don't ya think. Photography was in its early days and Mumler faked pictures with ghosts seeming to appear in his portraits. Somehow acquitted in a trial for fraud but with further analysis of the new media ... Weelll. Here's a picture P.T. Barnum had done to show how these guys faked people out and made a "killing" doing it.
Steve with, let's see, looks over his shoulder ... ... Jeff Davis looking on after his second breakfast

Oh, NO, Steve!! Say in ain't SO!!
Brussels Sprouts are...looking for the right words...the "Bomb!"
If you recognize this term and think that I am dated, you are older than you Think!
Maybe you should dress up as yourSELF for Halloween, and pretend to be a ghoul!!
