The first day of CST - Central Standard Time. I awoke early to chat with Kagami Sensei from Ogaki City in Japan. The normal 8 am time here moved back to 7 am, so I pretended that the clock hadn't changed until after the chatting concluded. She's been having some trouble with one of the Japanese teachers she's trying to help. He makes up lessons for the English classes and tends to use wrong English expressions without checking for authenticity with KS. He made up a song in English and used the word "clothes", but pronounced it like it had two syllables "clothe - es", and then taught it to several classes. KS objected, but he wouldn't change it because it changed the rhythm of the song. Americans are not the only nationality with obstinate old men.
In any case KS is still doing well.
The photo is a lovely oak tree on Summit Avenue that still owns its leaves.
I took an afternoon walk in the late fall sun with Herb. The evidence of the just passed Halloween holiday is still around. There are lots of sunken cheeked jack o'lanterns, many that have been gnawed by the herds of squirrels who are getting ready for winter.
I'll be playing tennis tomorrow and voting on Tuesday.

Good to get news of KS, always. Your fall walks with Herb seem to provide lots of fodder for blogging. Our oak trees are mostly brownish, and hold on to their leaves pretty vigorously. Pretty tree photo.
Have you noticed that BB is also participating in Emmy's blogging marathon challenge? I just caught on today.
