COLLEGE FOOTBALL

This week we got"a call" from the huddle regarding the best pick on Saturday. It was discussed by the experts here sunny Florida who have made their call, however they we restricted from picking any of our Florida teams. In addition they were required to pick a game that was going to have surprise ending potential. After all that they say watch Southern Cal and Oregon in a real close game. Winner: Southern Cal.

HAVE A LAUGH

Another contribution from a fellow resident trying to put a smile where it belongs. Enjoy it.

An Irishman who had a little too much to drink is driving

home from the city one night and,
of course, his car is weaving violently all over the road.

A cop pulls him over.
" So," says the cop to the driver, where have ya been?"
"Why, I've been to the pub of course," slurs the drunk.
" Well," says the cop, "it looks like you've had quite

a few to drink this evening."
" I did all right," the drunk says with a smile.
"D id you know," says the cop, standing straight and

folding his arms across his chest,
that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?"
"Oh, thank heavens," sighs the drunk.
"For a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf."

HALOWEEN

It is that time of the year when all the ghosts and their friends come out to haunt the community again.

The gang worked hard to get the Town Center ready for the big event on Sat (Oct 31). There is still some time to get a costume for the dance.

Hope to see a large group at the dance.

AHEAD OF SCHEDULE

Our community was set to see its' first convenience store open Nov. 1st, but that has changed - for the better.

It seems the shelves are installed and filled, and the coffee is hot and ready to go. So why wait? The family team that will operate "Matties Place" decided to open the doors ahead of schedule. Initial reports have been most favorable.

Best wishes to the owners, and nice lady pictured, with this venture.

GARDEN STATE KIDS

On the trip to NJ My Lady insisted we get some pictures of the kids.

These two our My Lady's youngest grandchildren (in NJ). We hope our friends can appreciate them. The "princess" was just a little (and quiet) thing when she visited "The Walk" with her parents. Now she is another story.

The little guy is a new arrival on the scene. Already he is a candidate for Fireman duty, and owns his very own fire engine.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

The regular season is more than half over, and our prognosticators have been pretty good. In addition they have not been accused of having "inside information" or promoting gambling. It's all about fun, and enjoying that Saturday afternoon game.

The call this week from the neighborhood genius is Oklahoma's Sooners, and the fall back pick, as usual, is Gators.

V. W. NAVY "BLASTS" SHORELINE

The headline is a little misleading. Our V.W. Navy isn't a "battle ship" for sure.

It is a 16 Ft. work boat. It has no guns. It is equiped with a mighty spraying apparatus that is used to chemically treat our shoreline. Good job mate.

CASINO BUS ROLLS

That Casino Bus rolled once again on Saturday the 17th.

It departed at a new time - 9:00am. This is to give some of us a chance to sleep a few minutes longer, and others a chance to see if they had the lucky tickets in the Casino raffle.

This is always a fun time. It would have been more fun if I drew a full house or two. Who cares. The food was good, and so was the company.

OCTOBERFEST

It's beer drinking time. The local "Bistro" ran a nice special for Octoberfest on Friday the 16th. There was a good turnout.

Our friend, and local resident, Mr. Joe provided entertainment as guest DJ. He sang some real old tunes and some songs from his recent CD. He provided an opportunity to sing along, and that put a lot of smiles on our faces.

This was a good event made better by sharing the time with good neighbors.

FLU SHOTS

For our fellow neighbors and friends note - Flu shots are being offered at Town Center at 1:30PM on Oct. 28th

To sign up go to: www.vaxcare.com From the home page go to patient sign up, and use clinic id # 3320

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

It's mid October, and the kids are all running well with their football games. My Lady told me that she has a pick - Wallkill Valley. That's a NJ kids team. The grandson played an exciting game. It was close right up to the coin flip. Number 58 played a real good game. Some day we might see him running on the TV screen. That's the future, today it is Oklahoma v Texas. This could be real close, but look for the "longhorns" to squeak by the Sooners.

CERT MEETING

If you are a member of our CERT there is a meeting tonight at 7:00pm. It will be at Town Center.

NEW BUSINESS AT TOWN CENTER

It should be obvious that as the "replacement editor etc." I don't write very much. So this may be my big scoop for the gang here in Florida. It appears that there will be a small store moving into our Town Center. Reports from a couple of neighbors is that owners want to offer ice cream, coffee and convenience items. Hope this is true.

LIGHTHOUSE AHEAD

"HIS LADY" said if there is no news just throw out an old j0ke or something out of the file. This was in that file. I hope it is a joke. My bottom line: I still won't mess with US NAVY.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Who is the best team or game today? I don't have a clue.

I did get instruction as to who to call or visit for "The PICK," but I don't know where I put it. I like to watch, but I am not an authority. The last time I did this thing I picked some team out of the blue and got some Lady annoyed. S here is a random choice: Florida over whoever, with ir without Tebow.

I hope that lady who got mad doesn't get upset this time around. Go Gators.

PUBLISHER OFF AGAIN

The guy left town with his lady to visit family in NJ and NY. He said: "Some will be pleased."

You should know I don't write much as the replacement. I hope I don't get anybody angry. Enjoy the silence !

COSTCO BREAKFAST

The Food Giant came to the neighborhood on Saturday (Oct 3), and, with the help of free coffee, pastry, and fruits, made a presentation regarding membership in their store.

The presentation was at Town Center, and V.W.Resident was dragged into the show by his Lady. He was observed moving pretty good while heading for the free coffee. The room was filled to capacity by 8:30, so there must have been some other hungry residents present.

One special lady celebrated a birthday too. It was a great way to start a Saturday. To be fair we should invite some competion to make more presentations.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

This has taken us almost to kick off time, but the guys have responded.

The had a couple of hot games to offer as the best to watch this weekend. The one the had a common interest in is "Bama." Alabama's Crimson Tide is the choice to win over UK. We'll see what happens here.

SUNSHINE CRUISE

A great evening was enjoyed by several residents of the community during a sunset cruise. The trip started and ended at Tin City. The weatherman cooperated providing nice breezes and a fabulous sunset in the Gulf.

OCTOBER'S BIRTHDATES & ANNIVERSERIES

Just a note to the "Editor" to check for those important dates, because as of now the mind (like always) is blank.
