The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Good Times in Area: Sad Sox Strike Again, Fish Fry, the Legion and That Good Old Fall Pumpkin Anything

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8

As bad as yesterday's Sox American League Division Series game was, today's was even worse.  The Bad Sox outdid themselves losing 9-4.  Looks like it will be a short series.

Every bad thing the Sox did during the last two months when they played a blistering .500 (fortunately in a very weak Central Division) has come out big.  Sox bats go silent and a frightening relief.  At least back then the starters were doing well, but not so much in this series.

I didn't like MLB having all the most playoff games until the World Series on non-broadcast networks.  I listened to the game on the radio at home.

Oh well, sometimes not so much good times in the area.

We met Barb and Glen and Kevin and Kelly at Diamond Deli for their fish fry.  Our waitress was Patti who used to be at Dino's Den for many years before it closed.  It was good to see her again.

Afterwards, we went to the Fox Lake American Legion for fifty-fifty.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9

If it is Fall, it must be pumpkin time, and I mean eating and drinking the tastes of the season.  I added a new taste this year:  Clyde's frosted pumpkin doughnuts.  Pop that into the old microwave for 15 seconds and it is a bite into mighty good.  I also am working on my gallon of apple cider (not apple juice).  Other highlights of the season for me are candy apples with peanuts, pumpkin spice cappuccinos and pumpkin spice cereal.
