Pumpkins need light to grow. George's pumpkins are mighty fine this year. Although his Pumpkin Patch at 7313-15 N. Sheridan Road has been OPEN for two weeks now, George is feeling a little in the dark.

You see, pumpkins also need light to be SOLD, and George has none of that. Oh, he wants it, alright, but his boss may have initiated some sort of misunderstanding with ComEd, who has not yet sent out someone to connect the power. Nor has the boss brought the promised "Pumpkins For Sale" signs.

Kris Luck, owner of Quest Network Services right next door provided some small, printed signs and a ceramic pumpkin which holds a lit candle. But George needs light, or his Halloween season will be a bust!

He opens early and stays open until after sunset, so try and get there soon!

THE RED SATURN

I was carrying my camera the other day, as usual, and found this curiosity.

Certainly, the owner had insurance? It's still required in Illinois, right?

Wonder what he/she did with the money? Spent it on tape?

It was apparent that this vehicle, a newer model, has been damaged for quite awhile. It was in the parking lot behind the assisted living facility at Sheridan Road and Sherwin Avenue.

Its condition does neither says a lot for the owner, nor does it say a lot for how automobiles are built. Lots and lots of fibreglas here, and plastic bumpers, doomed to destruction in even the slightest fender-bender. Would that be because so much steel is required for manufacturing something like this:

And, unfortunately, repair and replacement costs a mountain of money. Insurance should cover that, but this driver seems to prefer the "bashed in" look, at least for now.

Or, perhaps he/she spent the bucks on a new HDTV (High Definition Tele Vision), which you'll need, come, January, when television broadcasting standards change. Some trade-out, huh?
