At least he had a wake up call and a moment of perfect clarity and didn't ignore it.

I agree to late for him and I but glad he made the right choice just a little late
we still are distant friends

Still working on getting ready for winter. We have not had a frost yet, our average first frost passed on the 21st. Not that I mind.

waiting making a new white chilie posted by a great young man on the home bakers thread he told me I may share it with others also doing cornbread

Thanks for pasing on that recipe, penny. I love 'white' chili only mine is red and white as I use ground turkey and yes, tomatoes in it.

I'm still getting ready for winter, also, @CapricornFarm. I'm just having to slog through snow to do it.... somehow that just doesn't seem right.

We were going to meet an old IL friend today over by the Mississippi river for lunch. We do that once a year and had to postpone due to the weather. Our route is all country roads, their's is interstate. No way we wanted to do windy roads when they are glazed with ice and snow.

What a pain to have to deal with all that when you’re not ready. I love the winter, and Vermont takes good care of the roads. We drive to ski in the worst weather. But to be caught early, and with the dreaded glaze of ice on everything. Yuck!

Never saw snow on or before Halloween in my 66 years on this earth.

Great! Now you can cross that off your bucket list

Sounds better than my method of trying to super gently pound them in.... them bending... me trying straighten them back out...

Hmmm, no metal ones here. Fiberglass and if it flexes too much it starts to shred at the "wound site". The ability to bend them back straight sounds like a nice feature.

I don't have driveway markers, and in light of the recent intrusion by the drunk, I don't think I need any. Those that know me, and come to my house, don't need the markers, and those that I want to come to the house, I give them good, clear directions, so they don't need driveway markers either. All others can just keep right on going.
