Halloween was a bit different this year than in years past. First, we had about the half the amount of trick-or-treaters we usually get. This is not because there was bad weather, or even that they didn't turn out like they usually do, but rather because they were too busy attacking each other to get candy. Our neighborhood is ground zero for children/teenagers in our area. Our street corner in particular turns out to be a show in itself. Nothing like two cop cars, 70 kids, and a bullhorn speaker saying "JUST KEEP WALKING!" to enliven an otherwise dull holiday. We inspected the house afterward, and we got away pretty clean, much to our surprise. Had to be rather careful driving to work this morning...I saw no less than 5 shaving cream cans in the street, a number of egg carcasses, and random strewn TP. But I do have a bunch of leftover candy. Who's up for a Junior Mint?
