Holiday Strap On
We're wondering when the borough truck will make its slow crawl up Main Street to adorn the streetlights with the same tatty candy canes and dusty wreaths they've used for half a century. It's way past Halloween. In previous years, the O, O, O's and upside down J's were up right after the trick-or-treaters stopped ringing our doorbells. Maybe it's all this rain. Who wants to stand in a cherry picker and strap on holiday decor in this drear? Oh dear.

Are you getting the unseasonably warm weather too? That, of course, might be perfect for a strap on!
The day I posted this, the borough put up the decorations. Ha! Same ones. Tatty candy canes. Some of the lights at the top don't work anymore, and the tinsel is grey.* Welcome to town!
* This is a prophetic metaphor for how I will be when I'm 90.
Smiling now.
