This ‘n That

* “Can you feel it?” I was fortunate enough to see the Jacksons since they had added Randy to the group at Arrowhead Stadium years ago when they kicked off their 1984 “Victory” Tour. However, this magical, talented family will forever be the Jackson 5 to me since I grew up with their music. So it was with great sadness to hear of the passing of Tito, the “swinginest” Jackson.

* Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.

* Isiah Pacheco, I will watch you on the sidelines as you heal from your injury and wait for you to get back on the field again!

* If a high school kid flipping burgers deserves $15.00 an hour ($2,400.00 a month), then why isn’t that the minimum Social Security payment? And speaking of the government saying Social Security will run out in the years to come, why don’t they take the money they are sending to other countries and finance programs in the United States? They could do a lot for America, starting with the veterans or the legal homeless people.

* On my gourd, I love Fall. * This can’t be true! I read where the song “Heart and Soul” by Huey Lewis and the News was released 41 years ago on September 15th, 1983!!! Do you have the cassette?

* September is apple season, so break out your favorite apple cobblers, candied apples, pies, and other recipes!

* Autumn is my favorite color. * For those who love baseball and have never heard of the comedy team of Abbott and Costello, please check out their iconic “Who’s on First?” skit.

* October is the opal month of the year. * M&M has introduced a new flavor, PB&J—their first since 2022. It is a berry-flavored chocolate treat with a smooth peanut butter center. These yummy bites will be in the stores by December.

* 'Oh, September! You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul….but I must confess that I love you only because you are a prelude to my beloved October.” Peggy Toney Horton
