Tuesday Musings.

Remember when we used to acknowledge National CB Radio Day every October 4^th? 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.

About Linda Schaub

This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, so my blog is peppered with folks I meet or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub

  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”.
