KitKat Chocolate Candy Clonehenge!
My dad used to nab chocolate candy from our Halloween bags, as a sort of tax for paying for us kids to live in the house.
Funny but yummy coinage.
So, get out there and do your part, and have some chocolate!

Apologies for my late commenting: I got stuck in traffic on Sunday night...two hours stuck on a one-way, one half mile long bridge with no way to exit...and by the time I got home, all I could do was get into jammies and let Henry soothe me to sleep with his purrs.
Note to self: DO NOT IGNORE YOUR GPS.
This is exactly why I picked Tennis great Roger Federer's voice; I could listen to him talk all day long.
But nope, he wanted me to drive on the expressway, and it was dark out so why not mosey along on a surface street?
BECAUSE THE ROAD WAS CLOSED, you silly goose.
Thank goodness for my audiobook, which kept me entertained.

Aww, Nuts!
October 22 is International Nut Day!
"A day to support small nut farmers around the world, educate consumers about the many benefits of nuts, and encourage healthier snacking."
When I searched my library for nut images, here's what was found:
😹
Exactly!
Especially humorous for someone who worked in the automotive fastener business.
Pecan nut on the floor, being used as a cat toy.
The Hubby and I have chopped walnuts with our morning oatmeal, and I personally cannot pass up a chance to snack on cashews.
We also keep a supply of raw almond butter around.
Over the winter holidays, we manage to score a bag or two of roasted pistachios.
Eastside Cats is a nut patron, and is thankful for them.

Audiobooks that I recommend:
Moonbound, by Robin Sloan
Narrated by Gabra Zackman
Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore Series:
Book #.5: Ajax Penumbra
Book #1: Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore
Book #2: Moonbound
My two-cents: What happens when San Francisco, California, time-travel, hidden knowledge, and stories that just cannot be ignored get shaken, not stirred, then along comes a writer who will tell the tale? Consider reading the books in order, for the timeline flow. Oh yeah, there are dragons.
Dive Bar at the End of the Road by Kelley Armstrong
Narrated by Helen Laser, Sean Patrick Hopkins, and Shane Ghostkeeper
My two cents: Whoa, a dark and stormy night, in the woods, where the GPS doesn't work. She sees a woman in the road, but no, that's a fallen log she hit. Then a pick-up crashes, and there are two stunned people who need help. Except the woods are creepy, yet there's a building 'way back...will it provide help? Yeah, this was a ton of fun, and perfect horror for this time of year.
Let the Dead Sleep by Michael Wood
Narrated by Gemma Whelan
My two cents: Crime reporter Holly's sister was murdered 25 years earlier, and she was trying to forget that past, until her mother asks her to find the killer as her dying wish. Great suspense, and a terrific whodunnit, as Holly fights her fears and the police, while the murderer gets close...very, very close.
