If you have been following politics surely you have heard the catchphrase "October Surprise". I assume it refers to Wikileaks email drops. Some places I have heard it refers to impending war.
Here is the truth, at least in OUR reality.
October Surprise
New roof $26,000
New HVAC $12,000
Eye surgery $10,000
Oh, the new fan works well and the pull chain works fine after further review.
And to think that October used to be my favorite month. I might should rethink that.
