And he has shaped it as a babe that is to nurse and he has made two eyes of glass

Our neighbors are decorating for Halloween. This means giant inflatable ghosts, mummies, pumpkins, green-faced witches, vampire Winnie-the-Poohs, snowglobes full of mylar bats, et cetera, several of which glow at night and all of which are tasteless to the nth—yards full of this stuff, it's unbelievable. It makes me want to put up Halloween decorations of my own. Cornhusks, dog skulls, knots of old ribbon, branches of turning leaves. You know. Normal things.

I need to go buy some pumpkins, which will get covered in slugs, which will make them extra ookie

The last several mornings, I have gone out to retrieve the newspaper only to discover about a dozen slugs stuck to the plastic bagging, and not the small kind, either. I have no idea what is causing this. Perhaps we've had an influx of oddly literate gastropods; which makes me think that on any sensible calendar, there should be a Month of the Reading Slug.

If none of this makes sense, blame my migraine.

Actually, scarecrow-making always makes sense to me. But I still hope your migraine dissolves soon.
