Last week was the time for fall foliage to strut it’s stuff. Crimson, red, yellow, gold, and green. Colors leapt out, each according to the species of plant, in combinations that surprised and delighted the observer. It was a great time to ride Columbia’s wooded trails.

We often go to concerts in the weekend. This weekend we doubled down. Saturday we enjoyed a delightful performance of Brahms and Mendelssohn at UMBC. Today’s concert tempted us with a performance by a steelpan and piano. It was an intriguing concert. The guy is a genius on the steelpan. They paid jazz pieces. Unfortunately, after a while the songs were all sounding pretty much the same. Still, how many people have attended a piano and steelpan concert?

Danita and I decided to place a sun screen on the front door side panel window. The window is 15 inches wide and 7 feet high (more or less). I found a company, located somewhere in Southeast Asia, through Amazon that would make a custom blind. I put in the measurements. In a few hours, I got notice of a message from Amazon. It was the blind company, making sure the measurements were OK. I returned the message. I think it’s pretty amazing. Somebody half way around the world making a custom blind, checking with me to make sure it will be OK, making the blind, and shipping it to me in a couple of weeks. But there was one minor glitch. When they messaged that they will start making the blind immediately, they signed off “Have a nice life!” Amazing service. Decent English. No clue about American idioms.

That’s it for us. I hope all are well.
