Cloudy, bizmal day

A grey and cloudy day today. The kind of day to just lie in the bed and daydream, read a book or watch a movie on a portable device.  But I had to wake up to get a couple of things done before coming back home. I managed to clean the house a bit, tidy up the yard and put up a few Halloween decorations to make the place festive. I am starting to get into the Halloween mood!

In good news today, Millions volunteer on make a difference day! " They were all part of a wave of volunteering Saturday, as an estimated 3 million Americans rolled up their sleeves on the nation's largest single day of service, Make A Difference Day," according to an article in the Online edition of USA Today
And, An historic Carousel has a New home in Brooklyn Park! " One afternoon in early autumn, just about everybody seemed enthralled by the rise and fall of the 48 hand-carved wooden horses as they rode in circles over and over in Brooklyn Bridge Park. It was mostly young children emerging from nap time with their mothers, but even some hipsters in skinny jeans and Ray-Ban Wayfarers decided to stop and take a ride, hanging their heads back and grinning as they went." according to an article in USA Today

And, Some supermarkets are refusing to sell the new brand of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream! According to an article in the Christian Post,  " Ben & Jerry’s new flavor of ice cream is getting a chilly response from retailers. Some supermarkets are now refusing to carry its latest spoon bender, “Schweddy Balls.”  The Vermont-based company, known for carrying ice cream flavors with unusual names released the product in September and has been met with broad criticism. The name is a reference to a Saturday Night Live skit featuring Alec Baldwin."


And, That man who made the remark that the end of the world is approaching, and the date was October 21, is back in the news. This time a campaign " ' Fool Me Once' blames Harold Camping, Christianity for deceit." The Campaign insists on doing this " “Instead of worrying about the unknown and unprovable, wasting time, money and energy in speculating over the nonexistent: ‘Make this world better.’” According to an article in the Christian Post.

And, " Pastor and bestselling author Rick Warren will be joined by three renowned doctors, including cardio surgeon and TV show host Dr. Mehmet Oz, for a health conference and rally to be webcast live from Saddleback Church Saturday morning." according to an article in the Christian Post
