Welcome to Greenbriar Villas Social Club Community

If you read the headline, you have probably figured out that it is October.  Dare I say that the oppressive heat seems to have loosened its grip on our throats and air conditioners.  I am certain that at least the days are getting shorter. It is officially autumn as of last week.  Traffic seems to be picking up which must mean that our seasonal neighbors have begun to trickle back into Florida’s Friendliest Hometown. October is pretty empty as far as holidays go.  On the 12th you can celebrate Columbus Day or Indigenous Peoples Day or both.  We close out the month with Halloween, of course, on the 31st.  Still if we try, we can find some stuff to celebrate.  I am pretty sure the Hallmark Christmas movies begin October 16.  We start October with National Homemade Cookie Day on 10/1.  October 9 is Leif Erickson Day, which might be in conflict with Columbus Day depending on which version of history you follow. I guess in this day and age you can choose your own facts. Quite a number of food items are recognized this month including Boston Cream Pie, pumpkins, oatmeal, mashed potatoes, M&Ms, candy corn, pasta, emon bars.  The list goes on and on.  October is 31 days long like many other months but due to the political ads on TV it just seems much longer.  Both sides want to lower prices and make life more affordable.  Neither side says how they will do that.  November 3 is election day so please make sure you are registered if you want your voice to be heard.

Note: To avoid the controversies around data centers and their water usage I did not use any AI assistance this month.
