His Lordship has been away for sometime visiting his motherland. While I am glad he got to go, I have missed him. Weathering the pain of election results without my better half was lonely.
You may ask why he is "His Lordship". He was the next in line to inherit the family estate. Alas, he was born a year to late.
So he remains a Laird without any land. But to me, he will always be His Lordship. Welcome home darling.

Down in the Dumps
It is hard to be happy these days - first there were the post Halloween blues and now the post election blues. The nightmare is just beginning and unfortunately, it is not something a haunter has created in their front yard.
I would like to return to an earlier time, a happier time - that is, two weeks ago. So here are some images of Halloween 2016.

And the Winner is....
It was rigged I tell you, rigged. Some of the most boring skeletons won, one of which I never saw because it was not visible from the street. But I will tell you what all these skeletons had in common - a voting box in the store that sponsored them. So the store could encourage tourist to vote for their skeleton. Most places with a skeleton did not have a voting box, requiring the voter to remember the skeletons number, walk to a place with a box and cast a ballot. So here are the result of the skeleton election:
1st Place Manitou Outpost and Gallery
I mean he's ok but compared to quality of some of the others? First place? Are you kidding me?
2nd Place Goldminers Nuts & Candy
3rd Place Mountain High Gallery and Gifts

I did not even see this skeleton. While he's cute, he was not visible from the street through the window, which should have hurt his chances. But low and behold, they had a voting box.

Today the Votes will be Counted
Who did you vote for? I hope it was for my team - number 19, The Manitou Heritage Center Skeletons.
The chamber of commerce promised they would count votes today and announce a winner. As for that other election? Hell I voted by mail weeks ago.
I need to go there and take them down today

A few last minute skeletons
We have spotted some more skeletons about town - here is one from the Manitou Marquee, a local newspaper.
