October
To prepare for the snow
And the time of the cold
Some leaves turn golden yellow,
And others turn crimson red
But then the leaves let go,
And float down from their branches,
Then scatter on the ground and make
A big, colorful bed.

Here is another one he just sent me:
Sin
Sin may try to take you from God,
But you must avoid it and praise the Lord,
For sin will be your fall.
Every part of nature shows
God’s love, beauty, and mercy,
But Earth is just a small part of all.
His love will stand through the strongest storms,
And He will love you forever,
So you should listen and answer His call.

Ordinarily in the house we associate my son more with math, where he is so far into the ninety-ninth percentile among ten year-olds that it's not even accurately measurable-- but I would argue his poetic skills are perhaps even stronger.
GR Corolla Movement
There are no guarantees, but my sales manager friend might be able to sell me this car by the end of the year:






Almost unbelievably, his boss just obtained this specimen via a "shot in the dark" lottery, so-to-speak, but already owns a Corvette and some other cool cars. My buddy is really working the guy over: "Let me sell it! I have the customer all lined up!" What may happen-- crossing fingers-- is that the fellow will drive it for a couple of months, then hand it over to my friend to sell to me.
What's particularly neat about this specimen is that it's a limited edition "Circuit Edition". This trim has some added aero and a carbon fiber roof panel, along with some other non-mechanical extras. It would be a real coup if I could land it. It also happens to be in white, which is the color my wife has been hoping she could get.
Incidentally, I adore the "GR-FOUR" branding. It reminds me of something which would have been seen in the 90s. If things work out, this car will be the perfect successor to my wife's current 2014 WRX-- which is going to the kids by the by, as my daughter is almost driving age.
Of course, this timeline would mean I won't be getting a GR Supra. But that's ok: the 86 has grown on me so much that it would be really difficult for me to see it go. Besides, I've grown to love thirty miles-per-gallon gas mileage, and also having back seats as I'm able to drive my kids around, in my vehicle. It would be tough to go back to two seats only and poor gas mileage, on top of the Supra's other shortcomings like "adaptive" cruise control, a mediocre electric steering rack, and numb road feel like my old 350z.
Scam Scheme
Take a gander at this article. Apparently involving the "World Economic Forum"-- notice the clever title, sort of like "Federal" Reserve-- things work as follows:
- I make up some B.S. horror story and terrify kids with it. "The planet is doomed! You're all going to die in ten years!"
- I tell the kids to join the ranks of my "Hitler's Youth"-style organization.
- I create a fake "court" system, and appoint myself as judge, jury, and executioner.
- The "Hitler's Youth"-esque organization "sues" governments via my fake "court".
- I pen an article like the above: "This 'trial' is unprecedented!"
Quite the scam they have going on.
