Having popcorn with the dog.

We had cats who loved popcorn. We had to give them their own little bowl or they would drive us crazy.

We had a dog that liked popcorn. But only if it had butter on it.

We had a cat that liked Avocados and would steal the stringy innards out of a pumpkin.

Salem’s Unholy Bargain: How Tragedy Became an Attraction

The Massachusetts town is not the only place to build a tourist economy on the bones of a dark history. But this time of year, the question becomes: Is the cost worth the payoff?

What happens when I snap my fingers??

Not even dark out yet, and already overrun with trick or treaters!!

Love my neighborhood though. There is a big old oak that sits inside a stone wall which makes up a roundabout on the main drive. It gets toilet papered every All Hallows’ Eve. An annual tradition for neighborhood high school seniors for the last 40+ years.

I'm ready with candles in the window (but it's still light) and a huge bowel of candy. But this tiny little gated street hardly gets any kids. Last year Anthony's little girl was the only one. I hate that. We used to have so much fun at our old house.

I probably go through close to $50-60 worth of candy a year. But as it gets closer to 9 pm, I tell the kids to grab a fistful so it all goes! I don’t want it in my house. Then I can shut off the lights and wind down for the night.

 

[davismanLV]

Wait, shouldn't it be dark there now??

Not much. You're just an amateur!

Well, actually he started singing, but now I can't get him to stop!! HELP!!

Yes, it is, but I was too busy w/ the kids to post then.

Edit: Still coming!! I’m almost out. (Saved a handful of Reese’s. ) Almost time to call it a night.

That "302" badge intrigues me as it doesn't appear to have a Ford profile.

That's my brother's 700HP "Hellcat Killer" Mustang.

I call it his Late Life Crisis.

It's really nice that your neighborhood is safe for trick-or-treating. I always thought it was great fun. The mall handouts and trunk-a-treats don't seem like they would be nearly as entertaining. Those kids are lucky to still be able to trick-or-treat the "right" way.

I’m on the boomer cusp, the so called “Dazed and Confused” generation. Doesn’t matter, I’m now just old. Proof in the form of a Reader’s Digest article about The Ramones: https://apple.news/A1XUVXxg7QSeLZsK58FixUg

I’d wager the overwhelming majority of places are more than safe for kids to go trick or treating in groups of kids by themselves. The problem is the umbrella parents who have succumbed to network news fear mongering. Statistically, the world has never been safer. Everyone has a cellphone w/ a camera, 1/2 the houses have doorbell cameras. Turn off the tv and enjoy the world!
