63 Days To Halloween

From Pluto’s Gate to a haunted asylum, here are some interesting places to visit on Halloween- if you dare.

PLUTO’S GATE

It’s not every day that superstitious rumors are proven to be true. Well, Pluto’s Gate in Turkey was definitely proven to be as dangerous as everyone says. Since ancient times, no one dared enter it.

Scientists who came to study this phenomenon found that there were heavy CO2 concentrations in the cave which caused all of the deaths within it. It’s much safer during the day, since the increased temperature causes the CO2 to weigh down to the bottom, but no one really wants to risk it.

Rancho Los Amigos

The Rancho Los Amigos (“Friends Ranch”) opened up in 1888.The facility was built in two distinct quarters, known as North and South Campus.

Occasionally, the abandoned South Campus is utilized for training by the US Army and Marines.

In 2006, a group of Marines discovered a collection of mummified legs, arms and brain tissue in a freezer at the facility.

South Campus has become a hotspot for paranormal encounters ever since.

Locals have said that several people who continue to reside at North Campus continuously complain to staff that they can hear the sounds of spirits crying from the abandoned buildings.

64 Days To Halloween

There are 64 days to Halloween- have you met the neighbors yet?

 

It’s Caturday!

Owlkitty is a !SUPERSTAR! So let’s celebrate her on this Caturday.

WHO IS OWLKITTY

Lizzy (stage name: OwlKitty) is a two year-old cat living in Portland, Oregon. She stars in all your favorite movies and tv shows and gets lots of treats and cuddles in return. Offscreen, Lizzy loves her laser pointer, her adoptive mother (a 10 year-old tabby) and the taste of cream cheese. She’s never caught a bird. ( from Owlkitty’s webpage)

Why So Quiet?

I don’t get boodle of steady readers, but I have a few of you and right off I want you to know how much I appreciate it when you swing by, read my stuff and when you comment or like my work I am on top of the world.

So I want to explain why my posts have gotten a little skinny.

After I returned from my visit to Wisconsin to visit my son and his family my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer.

She is 84 years old and it really does blow that she has to spend the next year in treatment, but you gotta do what you gotta do. She just wants to get through the treatments so she can be done with them.

My family are no strangers to some very tough challenges, so really she’s put out because that means she won’t get to make her yearly run to Vegas ( but she just got back so-) and when she hates the idea of losing her hair because she doesn’t have a lot to begin with.

Anyway, last weekend we went to a casino in Tacoma and blew off some steam. It really felt good and now we are looking ahead to the holidays and working around Mom’s appointments.

I’ve taken a sort of vacation from writing, but what I have learned from facing all sorts of challenges is that one goal that helps you the most is living your life the way you did before you got struck sideways.

So that’s what I will be doing, that’s what my Mom will be doing and that’s what the rest of our family will be doing to.

Now.

I have some grave humor and grave thoughts to dig up for my blog and I hope you will continue to enjoy it  as much as I enjoy creating it for you.
