Halloween night (redundant?)

It's ~60 and it has stopped raining. Still a slow night for trick-or-treaters.

There were a couple of years I went out with my kid and it was snowing or freezing rain. The house at the end of the block gave brandy to the parents those years. Another family in the neighborhood (since moved) had a big "wheel of fortune" thing the kids would spin to determine what candy they got. There WAS a "lose 1" position too!

In the "old neighborhood" we went 15 years and only 1 kid ever came to the house. When she was grown, she told us she'd done it on a dare because our driveway was so dark and long (~900 feet). Not worth it for a candy bar!
