And it is really a beautiful afternoon. October and May are usually our best months climate wise.Today is Halloween and we have a Halloween observance at the church. I would have preferred observing the day on Saturday, as some communities have done. I would not go as far as Livingston parish, which will limit trick and treating to Monday and threatens to fine people $500 for celebrating on Sunday. That is silly. The parents will take their children to Baton Rouge today and will probably skip celebrating Monday night.

An individual couldn't go too far wrong if he voted opposite to all of the Shreveport Times choices for office. I will have more to say on the election another day, but for now I recommend reading the column by Thomas Sowell.

Some LSU students have begun getting signatures on a petition to the state government opposing cuts for higher education. They are well meaning but foolish. State funds are limited and a petition can't change that. Every department that can be cut is facing reductions.

The choir's anthem today was "The King Is Coming," by Gloria and Bill Gaither. It was great and I love Bill Compton's voice, but nothing compares to the way the Braschlers sang it. This group was no longer performing the last time we were in Branson. We never missed this show, the highlight being the singing of this song. The Florida Boys, who I haven't heard in years, also sang this song exceedingly well.
