It was definitely Autumn today and when I left my car in the Walton County Courthouse parking lot, I began to wonder if I had not underdressed this morning. Fortunately, it had warmed up a bit by the time I hit Winder and Barrow County. By the time I hit Canton (Cherokee County) it was downright balmy.
Of course, the hits of my trip were the flock of wild turkeys I saw in the front yard of a single wide mobile home in Lumpkin County and the sign for the Kangaroo Conservation Facility in Dawson County. I told Kate about this and we are both nonplussed about the presence of kangaroos in Dawson County. We thought that perhaps the good citizens of Dawson County may have mistaken large oppossums for their cousins. Kate, in particular, thought that when mistaken for kangaroos, the oppossums might turn to the camera and put their forefinger to their lips as to stop any attempts to correct the confusion.
That is assuming that oppossums have lips.
By the end of the day, I was happy that I was back home. Usually, by the time I am headed back home and hit around the airport or North Clayton, my buttocks begin to cramp up and give me fits. I enjoy the travel, but I am glad I only do that once a month.
The Giants eliminated the Rangers last night and won the World Series. I am trying to be philosophical and think that that reflects well on the Braves who were just an out or two away from beating the Giants in the Division Series. Otherwise, I am still rather blase about the series.
It is definitely football season now, despite the presence of NBA basketball and NHL hockey. I cannot get my mind beyond the W&L game against Hampton Sydney on Saturday. I am shooting positive thoughts and vibes up toward Lexington. I would appreciate any thoughts and vibes that will be offered in that regard. When I was at W&L, the football crowns were shared between Hampton Sydney and Randolph Macon and there were no scraps for the rest of us in the conference. This is a good opportunity for a little parity to rear its beautiful head and shine kindly on my alma mater this weekend. Another trip to the NCAAs would be nice.
I am going to continue to mention the Generals every day until Sunday.
