Good morning. It's a gorgeous start to our day with sunshine and 69°F. Of course Mark was excited about the cooler air and headed to the forest for R 'n R. Me? I slept in til 8:30. Sweet. 

 

Mark had two Sherman Fox squirrels talking to him this morning! Aren't they different looking! He took a video of them leaping around him. Haha. 

We watched the final presidential debate last night and thought Chris Matthews did a fine job as moderator. 

This third debate was Hillary Clinton's best debate performance. She ignored Trump when necessary and engaged him when she needed to. Given her considerable edge in the electoral map, Clinton didn't need an "aha" moment in this debate, she just needed to survive it. And, survive it she did. Hillary had a great answer about Donald's comments about the  allegations against him of groping by 9 different women. We women could relate! Hillary Clinton also dropped several researched hits that goaded Trump into making mistakes. Hillary was calm and composed in the face of Trump's, at times, silly interruptions. "Such a nasty woman" was one of them. 

Although this was Donald Trump's most consistent and best debate, it wasn't good for him. The defining moment of the entire debate came down to his refusal to say he would concede if the election results showed he had lost. His arrogance took over and he responded "I'll just wait and see ... ". That answer will prove to be THE total disaster to his campaign and the only thing people will remember coming out of this third debate.

So, CNN's Van Jones said it best ...

 

After Mark came home, we took the Scotties for a boat ride and lunch at Palm Gardens. It was quite crowded so we ordered and ate onboard. Nice! We were a little bad and had a bucket of beer, onion rings and boneless wings for lunch! No, not healthy at all today. 😬 Of course the dogs had many admirers ... and were well behaved. 

 

It was a bit choppy today ... and we all loved it. 

 

Mark was crying for Randy who was working on their shower stall again. 😂 

We heard today that Les & Lynne are not coming to visit this winter! It's been a tradition for many years that they stay with us a few days on their drive to South Florida. We'll miss them ... 

That's it for today. Ta Ta.
