Clear and a Frostie 36 degrees this morning.  No wind so guess we will have the first frost but sunny and warmer this afternoon around 67 degrees.

Warmer here and rainy.

Good morning, fellas.

November 16, 2017 is:

Great American Smokeout Day
National Fast Food Day

Interesting combo, one is to reduce cancer and heart disease while the other is to increase them.
Go Figger!

The balance of the universe.

Thought for Today: "No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right." - Helen Keller, American author and lecturer (1880-1968).

I'm challenging that she said that.

There’s a new Davidoff lounge in Florida. Smoke Inn has announced that its new West Palm Beach store has added a 1,400-square-foot outdoor lounge, the first of its kind for Davidoff, which said that it was inspired by both Asia, as well as its tobacco barns in the Dominican Republic. ...

With sexual harassment in the news currently, lets take a look at how our lawmakers are setting an example...

If a congressional aide wants to file a formal complaint with the OOC, they must first engage in 30 days of counseling. After 30 days, they can choose to go into mediation with a representative of the congressional office that they are lodging a complaint against, which can last at least another 30 days. Then, the accuser must wait an additional 30 days before they can officially file a complaint and pursue a hearing either with the OOC or the Federal District Court.  Additionally, they are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Should there be a settlement – and there have been many – it’s the American taxpayer that’s on the hook, with “no public disclosure and no consequences for the harasser,”  The money comes from a special U.S. Treasury fund – and the payouts are kept quiet. That means, those found to be at fault are publicly shielded and don’t have to pay a penny out of pocket for settlement costs.

The Washington Post, which first reported on the fund, found that between 1997 and 2014, $15.2 million was paid out to 235 claimants.

I would say they have themselves covered pretty well.

Roy Moore has lots of buddies.

No wonder he wants in to congress!

Granite installation day!  Plumber set up for tomorrow to connect up the new sink installation.  Mover set up for Monday morning to bring all our belongings from the warehouse here.

And the fun plan for the day is dealing with the warden trying to decide between about 12 samples  for the 3 sets of draperies (all 3 will be different as they are in different rooms with different colors). At least the decorator has helped narrow it down to a dozen choices, $ well spent!

Had a Truth...now just 'T' by AJF/Booth/Caldwell that was pretty nice. A couple of iffy spots, but attributable to OTT.  My Father Opulencia is also very tasty.    Been trying a number from SBC...they offer some nice samplers from new houses.  With that I've tried a number of cigars from MLB (due to association with JPG and EPC) and Cloud Hopper.
