Remember when we used to acknowledge National CB Radio Day every October 4th ? It was known as “10-4 Day”. I never heard anything about 10-4 Day today … perhaps we are too immersed in the upcoming election and endless sparring by the candidates to notice, or, we’re celebrating National Taco Day instead.
At any rate, I was glad to restore my CB “handle” to “Walking Woman” instead of “Woman Wistfully Peering Out The Window” … thank goodness for that! I took the car for a wee spin, it having not escaped the garage in almost a week, and, its owner likewise had not left the house, having dealt with rain all those days, and the HVAC tech who stopped by for a furnace check Monday morning.
I was rarin’ to go, so I slipped out the door and noted the dregs from the earlier dense fog still evident everywhere. The sun was piercing through the clouds and made me have to squint a bit plus shield my eyes with my hand to see anything. I hustled along, and the fog dissipated by the time I returned from my walk. I got in about three miles, so tomorrow, with camera in tow, I’ll stop and get some photos of the harvest and Halloween décor I saw today, which somehow escaped those torrential rains unscathed.
I’m glad to be back to the routine again … maybe I’ll be a little less cantankerous now.
That’s a Big 10-4 Good Buddies.

They sure are Marge, and a lot of harvest decor as well. I took many pictures yesterday and some more this morning. I can use some harvest pics after Halloween and up to Thanksgiving I think … there will be more decorating done as well as it is still early. Too bad that a lot of the hay bundles got soaked from last week’s torrential rains, the mums are little bedraggled now, and the pumpkins in this 80-degree weather may not last as long as originally planned.

I will send you a link about it separately Ann Marie, but, it used to be kind of a big deal back when truckers used their CB radios to “talk” to one another. That was a world before the internet for e-mail or cellphones for people to communicate with one another on the go. At the end of the talking “session”, when truckers signed off they said “10-4” … kind of like saying “over and out”.
