I read where those CA wildfires have placed a fair amount of smoke and ash particles into the atmosphere, and that the jet-stream has managed to carry it all the way to US in Indiana. That might explain cloudier skies, but as to smelling smoke? Nah, it's just some of the "locals" burning leaves (or houses and churches). We do need to offer a prayer for everyone who has lost everything and been displaced by those events.
Our Hoosierland weather for today brings us mostly cloudy skies, a few snow flurries during the day, and our high will top out around 34 degrees (pretty close to what it is already).
Driving might be a bit on the slick side in the morning, so please take the proper amount of caution out there. The life you save may be your own.
*** First off of the sofa is our "What the hell happens today, Bob?" feature:
NOVEMBER 13 -
---It's National Indian Pudding Day
---It's also World Kindness Day
*** Next, and since it is another Tuesday, let's take a look at all the FWPD calls that went out last week, that we never heard anything about...and should have:

*** Next up, we finally made it to FORTY HOMICIDES in Allen Cointy (which includes Fort Wayne). Here's the story:
http://www.journalgazette.net/news/local/20181113/1-dead-1-hurt-in-shooting-on-state
This took place last evening at the 1125 W. State Blvd Kroger parking lot.
One male was found dead at the scene. Another male was taken to hospital in a private car and was downgraded from serious to critical.
This town sure gone crazy these days, isn't it?
*** Next, a literal legend to the realm of comicdom has passed away.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/marvel-comics-legend-stan-lee-dies-at-95/ar-BBPCSj8?OCID=ansmsnnews11
Here also are how stars of the MCU are reacting to Stan's passing:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2018/11/12/stan-lee-dead-celebs-mourn-marvel-comics-icon/1978955002/
And, here is his WIKI:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Lee
And becasue of those characters he (and the late Jack Kirby) created, it made life a might easier to deal with for those of us "true believers" (as he called his army of readers). He will certainly be missed, but hardly forgotten.
*** Next up, time to stop by "Kitten Corner"...
The kids were not messing with toilets and that was good.
 |
| Oh, mommy's home. Cool...when do we eat? |
Between bird watching, eating, napping and trips to the litter pan, there wasn't a whole of other stuff for them to do. Overall, it was still a very good day.
*** Next, let's take time to check in with "Midnight and Whiskers"...
 |
| Enjoying fine dining al fresco. |
 |
| Who's this "al" guy? He don't feed us. |
After they were fed, I said I'd be out after I ate to give them treats.
I suppose something else needed his immediate attention. We'll try again today.
*** Last back to the comic book store...back when I was in high school, there was a ritual of sorts that took place every Wednesday without fail.
 |
| Comics were always at the bottom. |
 |
| 25 ¢ could buy you 2 comics. |
And with few exceptions, the name Stan Lee was in every issue.
Seeing how these (fictional) heroes dealt with life became something we embraced, and it wasn't a bad way to brush up on your vocabulary.
(Yes, comics TAUGHT us stuff, like how to read better and how to draw)
I don't think I can imagine what life could have been like without such comics (and these were aside from the usual DC heroes, which were more "cut and dry" back then).
I would have to say that Stan Lee (along with Jack Kirby) helped a LOT of us cope with reality in ways they could never imagine.
And as far as I'm concerned, that's one helluva legacy.
And, to use Stan's favorite sign off..."EXCELSIOR!".
He done good...he done real good. Something we can all learn from, right?
Stay SAFE out there, America.

Indian pudding- I guess it'll do. long as it isn't CURRY "Indian", lol...
World Kindness: Sorry, I was a grouch today...
Stan: That tweet from the Army made me cry. You, Roy, and Jack, John, you stood so high... always live on.
My first comic was a 12 cent Superman. They went up to 15 the next week.
Chris:
---Doesn't look EASTERN...more native American (I hope).
Heck, put some Cool Whip on it, and it's gotta be good...heh.
---The way I look at that...the REST of the world can be kind...folks like us already do our part.
(sound okay to you?)
---I confess that the farther down that story I went, the more I felt the loss, and all he did for us as we were growing up.
That, you never forget.
And it's why I had to include it.
---I can't recall the EXACT title, but I think mine had to be 10 cent comics, and most likely DC (Was a huge Sgt. Rock fan). Joe Kubert was a great artist.
Had some DELL comics too (Donald Duck, Mighty Mouse)...betcha if I STILL had those, they'd be worth some $$$.
(oh well)
Hey, thanks for dropping on by and commenting.
Stay safe (and a true believer) up there, brother.
