Now we could write lots about cities both big and small. But today it's just "I ma goin to the city"! There is one of the biggest cities not far from my castle but I just don't get to go. Actually haven't been since moving into the new castle!
They have a lot to offer. We are not going to get into negatives here today.
We just need to stand there and breath in that polluted air - coughcough. Look up. Waaaaay up. Then at the end of the day, go home. Your queen gets to do that today compliments of Diane's birthday gift from husband!
Happy trails.

Your Queen has been feeling guilty again for neglecting her peeps. She has admitted to composing messages while riding in cars, lying in bed, knitting, etc. Then the brain figures they must have done that, so it doesn't. uh....
But it is fall. And that brings something we enjoy: football! Yes, we actually like football. We can thank/blame one time husband (oth) for this. We shall explain.
Once upon a time in the life of married, oth was an avid football fan which made for many hours of football TV time. Bombarded by this a lot of the year, the future queen (yet to come) gradually watched more and more and learned the basics of the game. Oth also traveled frequently for his employers. And, low and behold, one Monday evening Monday Night Football was on TV! Oth was far away. Yes. we were watching football by choice!
A classic "Ah Ha" moment.
Which by a semi-convoluted route, brings us to the topic: Sports stars that don't seem to be able to properly speak English!!!!
All graduated high school. Almost all attended college and quite a few even got a degree. Now we ask you, how did it happen that no one required that they learn to speak our language? And why is it acceptable for them to speak to the public continuously using the wrong words, mispronouncing words, and just plain sounding ignorant? Is this what we want our children emulating? But the bigger question may be: Do most people even know the difference?
Eeeeeeek.

Mercury
It has occurred to us that if we don't write here more, there won't be anyone left reading it!
Your Queen has recently (again) been experiencing severe deficits in dealing with any electronic device. Now we acknowledge that sometimes the planet Mercury gets all out of alignment and proceeds to interfere with any sort of communication, etc.
Well, your Queen is a "visual" thinker and on her best day is challenged by electronic/computer-like devices. So let Mercury get out of whack and it really screws up her world!
Recently this would include her Kindle (which she adores), computers, super devices that include TV and all of their related devices which operate (we're being optimistic here) with master remotes, even the fancy espresso maker!
Which brings us to another of her queennesses life irritants: no 'LIVE' person to talk to about it! I mean, ever had a recording ask you questions on the telephone and then, when you clearly answer, say "I'm sorry. I didn't understand you."!!!! And that's after you are able to find a phone number to actually call!!
So this awesome early morning, Diane's castle (the Queen is currently there watching over resident large dog) there is no TV/radio (who knows what happened there?) and all dictionaries have inexplicably disappeared from her Kindle. (And you know what a word person she is!)
But it is still an awesome day since God made it and He is very reliable.
Update for those still paying attention,
Your Queen
