One of my neighbors has elaborate holiday decorations– lights, blow ups, etc.  His display for Halloween was epic.  Today it’s all about Christmas, skipping right over Thanksgiving.  I’m not quite ready for December. 
Tilly Norwood! Do you know her?  Have you seen her most recent film?A few weeks back, I read about Tilly as a fresh, new actress on the Hollywood scene.  More importantly, I saw a clip of her most recent work.  It was really pretty good. The catch here is that Tilly is not a real person but instead is an AI generated character. Creepy, and more than just a little scary.I still don’t think that AI generated characters can replace human emotion – but is more to come?Again, creepy and more than just a little scary. 
As we drove on the highway last week, I was admiring the beautiful colors of the leaves. I began to think about  how much I love the fall. As quickly as that thought came to mind, another popped in, that I also love the winter. And the spring and summer as well.  
On my way back to the office, I followed an electric bike flying down the road at nearly 30 mph. No helmet. No stopping at stop signs. Just a perfectly coordinated black outfit on a black bike, and zero regard for the rules.At this point, can we really call these things “bicycles”? E-bikes move as fast as small motorcycles, yet riders face none of the requirements: no license, no training, no protective gear, and apparently no obligation to stop at basic traffic signals.
Recently, I met with our new Village Mayor, Adam H. Koblenz, Esq., and during our discussion I mentioned a time capsule buried on the Vilage Hall grounds and he expressed interest. Consequently, I did some digging and came up with the following blog: 
I’m happy the election is behind us. Maybe there will be a break in the incessant texts and emails.Although I don’t live - or vote - in New York City, I received hundreds of text messages and emails from the several mayoral candidates urging me to vote in the weeks running up to the election.And candidates from outside of New York, recognizing that I couldn’t vote for them, sought contributions for the cause.Perhaps the fact that the election is over will put a stop to these texts and emails —- because nothing else would.
Traveling, whether by car, bus, train or air always has risks.  However, today we know that with the shut down, it comes with what most think are additional risks.  I had my own concerns as I was traveling home (being Amarillo, TX) this past week for the memorial service of a very close pseudo family member.  If any of you have heard, I personally have the worse travel luck in history.  So I am always on guard.  Never surprised when issues come up.
