Important Holidays: Fall Begins

Weather:  If you think you’re going to be caught in a rainstorm, you probably will. If you see sunny skies, that’s what will hit you. It’s all in your outlook.  

Brews, Loose Screws, Cigars & Wine (Brought to you by Field reporter RE JR): 

Kecksburg, PA is having thier annual UFO Festival this weekend.  It commemorates a Dec. 9, 1965 incident where there was a sighting.  Some observers claim the military came and took an object and the files have been sealed by the government.  Schedule of events include: parade, UFO dog eating contest, lecture by a UFO expert (also a big foot expert) and a burn out contest (????) among others. FWN is now taking applications to cover this event live; incentives include BFRO membership.   In competition with UFO Fest, Octoberfest celebrations kickoff bigtime this weekend with some really great brews in Pittsburgh. Penn Brewery Octoberfest won 3rd place in a competition, and I concur, it is one of the best.  But lots of good Octoberfest brews out right now. Cigar of the week is:  Carlos Torano Fortress - 6" by 60 ring guage (yes ladies it’s the big one) packed with power.  Smooth but assertive, just the way you like it!

Urbandictionary word of the day:  Moonbathing

Being outside at night, basking in the moonlight. Sunbathing during the lunar hours.

With the addition of the hot tub and the lessening of daylight, LV Parks spend a lot of time moonbathing.

Song of the Week: Kansas, Carry On Wayward Son

Notable Accomplishments: Nate and RE Jr. have a golf tournament this weekend in Williamsport. Carinne has been made chair of a committee for her society.

Hypothetical Situation of the Week:   What board game would you like to compete in in a real life competition? Not as a board, but as if it were a real-life obstacle. For example if you pick Battleship maybe you’re sinking sea carriers out in the Atlantic. If you pick Chutes and Ladders, expect some slip n’ slides and a hefty workout.

FWN Member of the Week: Mark!

If Mark had to give up a sense, he’d pick the sense of smell because half of them are bad anyway and he’d eat less. His superhero power of choice is X-Ray. His mascot was the Mighty Dragons. Lastly, the most recent meal he had (and this questionnaire is ~2wks old) was spinach dip with toasted baguette slices.

Thanks! (clap clap clap clap clap)
