Warmer today

75 predicted.....nice morning, so I got out and knocked down the weeds behind the house and some along the north side.....I talked to a couple of guys who were looking at the burned house next door.....the City had put an ad in the paper for bids to tear it down, and these guys said they had quoted eight grand .....so they don't know if they will get it or not.....maybe some day it will get gone....I boiled the crock pot juices down into a gravy, with just a little flour in there to thicken it up....and that was good with the rib meat and the stuffing, etc....for lunch today I'll make hash taquitos.....and supper might be spaghetti and meatballs and a salad....using a frozen entree I got a couple weeks ago for a buck I think it was....just to vary things instead of having the same supper two nights in a row.....nothing in the mail but an insurance solicitation.....lots of acorns this year, so they say the bears have a good supply of mast to eat so they shouldn't come into town so much and get in garbage.....but there is a bear warning right now in the campgrounds off the Blue Ridge Highway.....bears went on a rampage last weekend for some unknown reason, chased out some tourists.....
