10 kids this year. Down from over 30 last year however the roads and sidewalks are still icy in spots.
Maybe there was a bubble-wrap shortage or perhaps the bicycle helmets had been put into winter storage.
Still it is quite sad. I remember similar conditions when I was 9 or 10. Boot skated from door to door. That year was the biggest haul of my trick or treat career.

Total trick or treater count for 2012, a dismal four. There are more than two dozen children living in the homes around ours within a five minute walk. SAP is up with a scary Halloween video, a human can opener and a new site you will want to bookmark for hour of entertainment, look for "where will you wind up next" and enjoy your global tour.
Morning all. Candy shall be on the menu this morning, along with some real eggs, any way you like. However, first comes coffee.

Morning Marc, the coffee sounds good. I have been struggling with my sleep patterns for a couple of weeks now and seem to recall you used melatonine at times. I bought some yesterday, dissolved one 3mg tablet under my tongue at 8:30 and fell asleep by nine. Sadly, I awoke at midnight and have been up ever since. Such is life.
Morning Marc and Don. A coffee sounds great Marc. Quiet here last evening .. very little in the way of firecracker or other noise, in contrast to some previous years. Very wet evening, so suspect that played a significant role.

Morning, Don. I take a few of the 3mg tabs of Melatonin about a half hour before I want to be asleep. Unfortunately, due to prostate problems, I have to get up to pee a couple of times a night. I take another 3mg tab as I am headed for the bathroom and am able to go right back to sleep each time. I hope your insomnia ends soon.

Morning, John. Coffee has just been brewed fresh, so let's all enjoy a cup.

The late comers 8-9:30 pushed our total up to 23 last night. Not bad considering the icy footing.

Morning all: Don't know how many TTrs were here as we went to a movie. Saw Cloud Atlas....would rather have handed out candy..... 3 hours of "what the hell was that"? I think the director need to reign the scope in a little.... well shot though and you couldn't complain about the acting, but it was like taking the backroads ( to the point ) eventually you get there but were all the little stop and gos worth it.... not sure. I am keenly awaiting: SkyFall, Flight, and what I think will be a great film ( but very little gate ) The Sessions....... Oh by the way, I'll have a double double.
