BACK TO OUR HOUSE ON OTTOBINE ROAD....

CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY.... "Father slid to a stop at the end of the 

shortcut road and the intersection of State Route 257...."

Father quick-looked left and right then spun gravel as he turned to the left

onto State Route 257 heading north. 

Today there is a small building immediately to the right and left of the lane

where children wait for the school bus. Not far and also to the right is a Russian

Baptist Church, a building, maybe vacant now, that was once a veterinarian's

office, and to the right at about a 1/4 mile distance and down the lane of about 

the same distance is the rescue squad for the region.

Of course, when Father was driving, there where only farms on both sides of 

the road and as he continued to drive he, just then, surprised us once again....

TO BE CONTINUED....

California will decide on November 8 to pass or not to pass Proposition 64 for 

recreational use.

MY OPINION

Northern California's Emerald Triangle's farmers who produce marijuana

fear that the passage of Proposition 64 will run them out of business with 

taxes, regulations and big farms will surely take over.

It ain't fair. I know, it ain't ever going to be fair, but I've tried all my life to

"level the playing field," so to speak, and it's to late to quit trying now.


SPORTS

The Cleveland Indians baseball team lost to the Chicago Cubs 5-1 in the second 

game of the baseball World Series. They are now tied at a game a piece (1-1),

will take a day off and then the series will move to Chicago for the next three

games. 

I either team wins all three games in Chicago, the winner will be the World Series

Champions and finish at 4-1.

Excerpt from full article:

"Kurdish peshmerga fighter Germad Yihya stood on a small berm overlooking 

a village where he said Islamic State militants had been defeated. A line of 

trees 500 meters away from his position illustrated how he can't afford to be 

complacent.

A day earlier, a suicide bomber had rushed out of the thick green vegetation

and killed five of his comrades after Kurdish forces had fought for 10 days to 

gain the upper hand in Fadiliya, where 1,000 people remain trapped, 

surrounded by roadside bombs.

Iraqi and Kurdish forces have cleared more than 30 villages like Fadiliya 

during their offensive to drive Islamic State from its main Iraqi stronghold 

of Mosul, in what is expected to be the biggest battle in Iraq for more than 

a decade...."

....The jihadists were mostly in their 20s, Iraqis and also what Kurdish officials 

describe as the most ruthless and efficient Islamic State radicals – foreign 

fighters from places like Chechyna...."
