The Indian summer has been blown away like a punk making a LA street cop’s day. Sunday was spent picking apples in the rain to gather them in before they become neighbourhood windfalls. Incidentally the apples were red and shiny with moisture and seem to hang in pairs like so many spanked bottoms in a row. That is the only poetic image that occurs to one when you are not getting rained on, so it was no particular solace. So now I know why I am not a farmer.

Elsewhere the LSF Empire continues to grow and their blog has been added to my blogroll.

In honour of my Roaring 1920s post Rollin has published a short story from this era which has been taken from his collection The Romance of Spanking.

But the big news of the week is that Chross has just passed his seven-year landmark of being a blog. So congratulations Chross.

The Spanking Spot continues to be blocked as Avast, MacAfee and Spybot all continue to report a JS-Hide-Me Trojan within its pages. It may be a false report caused by a hide-me tag in an ad (I won’t write out in full as that may get my pages blocked) but it is impossible to tell, which is a pity.

My Bottom Smarts has another of those lists of new spanking blogs.

Cranky Spanker has the full cartoon set of the Halloween picture above. The other pictures this week are from: About Spanking, All Things Spanking, Cutie Pie and Season and Michael.
