I can assure you that it's safe to go trick-or-treating this year. Except for that weird guy at the end of the block, of course. Everyone knows he must be a serial killer or something.

Thank you for my new wallpaper, Kevin.
May all the razor blades in the apples you receive be dulled.

One of your early drone prototypes?
Off topic (or may be not): Washington Post has potentially transformative reporting on the events leading up to the insurrection on the Capitol. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2021/warnings-jan-6-insurrection/?itid=hp-top-table-main
Weird guy at the end of the block reporting in. When I lived in apartments I used to turn off the tights and surf the net. Now, as the weird guy, I feel compelled to have enough candy for whatever shows up.
Since this is the time living where I am, and it's a brand new build, no idea how many kids will show up. Could be anywhere from 0 to 500.
Regardless, candy cannot be left sitting around in this house. I ate 20 smartie packages last night.
CD -
I used to tease my kids that they needed to eat smarties to improve their grades.
Funny thing - here we haven't had trick or treaters for several years, but we always make some bags up for the neighbors kids and grandkids and deliver them to those families.
Now, my daughter who now lives in MASS said that Halloween was a HUGE event in her area and that people spend upwards of $100 to $200 for candy and they run out !!!! She was planning on working anyway, so it wasn't a big deal to her.
Growing up the main problem we had was our parents who decided when and how much of the goodies we could eat..............
So, does the balloon ride decorate for Halloween, or is the image another Kevin Drum Alternative Reality special?

Tack.
(sigh) We only had 95 trick'r'treaters last night.
Hey Kevin
Did you use your drone for trick or treating? Was it more effective at gathering sweets?
How about charting the results out for us..............
A little late, but...
