The night before Halloween is Devil's night, a time for petty vandalism. Or in Detroit, mass destruction.

Trick or treat depends on the local municipality. Mine is the 31st. My nephews had theirs yesterday.

Captains log: 3 of them, about 5 inches each and brown this morning. No Klingons near Uranus.

Devil's night seems to have passed the compound by. A couple of streets over, there are reports of car vandalism and TP'ed trees. The cat remains locked up in the garage for his own safety. He is not pleased and gave me a look that he'd like to cut me this morning.



Also, WHO ARE ALL THESE FUCKING PEOPLE ON MY BRIDGE?

Unload them at the office.  It's what I plan to do.

Actually I probably lied. 

There is a reason I give out nothing but Reese's, after all.

In SF, Halloween started being about kids getting shot, so they shut it down. :(

As long as the kids that got shot were one of them damn bastard kids, it's alright.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

And the other two were dressed as people that BB is going to convict when they grow up.

I made cookies out of the leftover Hershey kisses.

We were out of six bags of candy and 36 popcorn balls an hour and 15 minutes into a two-hour stint.  <_<

Our street is one of the most popular for people to Trick-or-Treat on. I guess word is out that the old people along the road give out the best candy.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Our street has a bunch of townhouses on it, so I would have thought it would be fairly popular - but I guess because we're directly off of a more commercial street and otherwise a bit out of the way we have never gotten many trick-or-treaters.

Our house is also quite a ways back from the street (100'?), so I wonder if kids didn't just decide to skip us even if they did hit our street, even with the hallowe'en lights up.

Good man.  I've perfected my cookie-baking as well.  I've even become infamous at the office for it.   :unsure:

Hmmm, that gives me an idea with the Reeses.
