Happy Halloween Open Thread
Have at ye. I’ll be busy most of the weekend, so you’re on your own.
Be nice.
It’s a gorgeous night for tricks and treating, ain’t it? Hope those with kids don’t fail to take them out for the sugar rush. Halloween is a sacred kid holiday. Trick or Treating is from 6pm to 8pm, so for heaven’s sake people, make sure you have lots of candy and leave your porch light on. Make the kiddies happy. (As for me, I am donning a costume in order to give out da goods…why should the kids have all the fun??)
OK, speaking of sugar rush, someone at City Hall has had way too much Halloween candy…this is on the city’s website:
Hehe. Cute.

The Bin Dependence thing was Gunther’s idea.

Ok, it’s 8:08 and my street has seen all of 20 kiddies (2 are my own) and a CRAP load of candy remaining….

Just got back a bit ago with my kids and we had over 60-70 kiddies! Busy year

Just brought my daughter out for her first real trick-or-treating. She was dressed as a bumble-bee - she had a great time.
Saw crazy crowds just down the street from my house - some of the houses had lines for the candy! Funny, but seems like about half the kids out there were bigger than me… Didn’t see and broken pumpkins or toilet paper in trees. It was a good night.

Can’t wait for the new bins. Looks like I’ll need to get busy to make a little more room on the side of my house for it.

You know, for a gorgeous late fall evening on a Friday night no less, it seemed oddly slow… house parties or just the neighborhoods aging out or perhaps everyone followed the City Manager’s blog and went to the UML dorms…hmmmmm

Very well behaved crowd in our neck of the woods…. C and I counted ~200-225 tick-or-treaters this year. Impressive!

Wow Tim it sounds like everyone went to your neighborhood. We used to have crowds like that when we lived in the Highlands.
