Did you hear that?


Both small and large children ring the doorbell and shout out their greeting seeking sweets in exchange for not killing us. “Trick or Treat” so casually tossed out, meaningless to oddly dressed human children attempting to get free candy from strangers. What’s next? Running with scissors? How can this be, and where are their parents? Some of the older children are dressed as older children as they try to blend in with the others who have at least attempted to pass as pirates and princesses. Is there a type of “bah humbug” greeting for those of us would wish this night would end? 364 of the rest of the nights in this year would land one in jail for asking “would you like some candy little girl”? Go figure. Anyway, happy spooks and goblins

Fun? FUN? Perhaps the never ending ringing of the doorbell, the non-stop barking of dogs and the wrappers from those ransoms blowing across the yard is your idea of fun, and please don't get me wrong because there are times and places for that sort of thing, but NOT on a Tuesday.
