Now if you were to see a caption like that anywhere else you would think 'fall foliage' wouldn't you? But here the flame orange is the dayglo paint on the styrofoam buoys being painted for the big day on November 26th. They're just waiting for the black bottom half. That daughter studying French is usually the assistant but mid-terms take precedence. Actually this is yesterday's photo as today the buoys are strung out on the ton truck. I certainly hope when the shore captain heads out in the morning at 4 a.m. he notices them or he'll look like he's leaving on his honeymoon! Although many lobster fishermen who have had the summer to work on gear and go camping are finished, these are the sort of tableaus that speak of autumn in our area. The push is on for completion pre-deer hunting season.And to cheer you up a bit here's a clip my boss (who has a 10 yr old son) sent - the YouTube video is hilarious - it's entitled Mom Song:

Today in my search for something else online - much like looking for something in a dictionary or being distracted by a sunny corner and a book when you had been doing housework - I found information about crises. Now I think the term is highly overused as many folks version of crisis wouldn't even register on my scale. But then again I do lead an interesting life I suppose.....but I digress. I was amazed to discover that not only is there the classic mid-life crisis but also quarter-life crisis and on and on:
The term, "quarterlife crisis" was coined in 1997 by Abby Wilner. Similar to a mid-life crisis, the quarter life crisis afflicts twenty-somethings when they hit life after college and the real world leaves them feeling isolated, dissatisfied, and lost. Internal and external expectations about who they should be and what they should do with their lives leads to anxiety, depression, and other disorders as a result.
"Mid life crisis"
- 3000 men polled
- BMW - Boxster is favourite
- Top ten mid-life crisis cars (enough said)
- it would appear I may have transferrable skills in this area
- seems to be a PR person for movie stars ex. Kramer hired one
On a positive note....as of this afternoon we are booked for a 2 week winter getaway- yeehaw! Have managed to get a good price on a Cubana flight from Montreal to Santiago de Cuba on Jan 30th using Airmiles from Halifax to Montreal to connect. Even with an overnight on the way back it's still cheaper (and less hassle) than Halifax to Holguin. I need something to hang on to as the mornings get increasingly frostier.
And to wrap up, the quote of the day is a good one by someone who rarely takes a bus anymore:
“Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.”- Oprah Winfrey
