Autumn Has Arrived in Bratsigovo

The leaves are turning, the weather is getting chilly, and Stolichno will soon be widely available throughout Bulgaria. Yes, fall has arrived and life is good here in Bratsigovo. The mayoral elections will conclude this weekend and it looks as if we will have a new mayor. Although this should not have much of an effect on me, there is a chance of some heavy turnover among my colleagues which could make things interesting around here.

With Thanksgiving coming up we have decided to spend a few days in Bucharest, stopping in Iskar along the way. This will ideally involve the slaughtering of another animal and thus another poorly-rated and criticized YouTube video. Although the exact details are still unclear, there has been talk about pitchforks and an ostrich.
