Perhaps its the idea that both parents are more likely to be home instead of at work on the weekend, meaning more adult participation, and correspondingly more safety. That itself may be a quaint notion at this point.

This could also have gone in the "recent purchases" thread, but I picked up these googly eyes glasses for Halloween. I don't typically dress up, but I may answer the door with these on. I can place them right over my regular glasses and still see fine.

I think the danger of Halloween is very overblown. If a kid gets run down like a raccoon in quest of free candy, well, he or she died happy and the driver will be in prison forever, so what more do we need?

That's an impressively compartmentalized viewpoint.

You make me blush! I would honestly choose the word "Darwinian," but, hey, tomayto, tomahto.

Stopped at the nursery today to see about purchasing some prairie grass. Not only was it on sale -- some of them for only a buck ninety-nine -- but I found a single pot of Wolf's Bane in glorious full bloom. Now what could be more Halloweeny than that?

So, after a two month dry spell bordering on drought, it looks like a stormy end to October. This isn't unusual for us down here, but it's sure putting a kink in my yard decorating thus far. Plenty of time, of course...
Unless life imitates 50's horror comics:

We're only half way into the month, and I was delighted to see not one, not two, but three women in Halloween-themed stretchy pants today at work. May the Halloween God bless all three.  |

Man, the 50's did horror better.

I vote for that cool cat who lives on top of Manhattan Chase.
BTW, I got "booed" at work today. It's like secret Santas, only for Halloween. I got a cauldron with a filmy black length of fabric suitable for wearing as a shawl or headscarf or for draping over things to make them eerie; some Zombie Crossing tape; a vase held by a skeleton claw with eyeball roses inside; a supply of plastic Halloween figures like bats and skeletons; and instructions to hang up the "I've been Booed" announcement at the end of my cubicle and leave it there until 10/31, but make 2 copies of the piece of paper first and make 2 "boo" gifts and pass them on to 2 more co-workers. Supposedly this is a wildly popular thing to do at workplaces everywhere but I've never heard of it before working in this program.
I supplied the people I booed with wind-up hopping eyeballs, light-up bouncy balls with monsters inside, Snickers Jack O'Lanterns, and budget Halloween costumes: one, who works with toddlers and babies, got a unicorn outfit and the other, who's overly religious, got a devil getup.

One VERY Halloweeny thing about this season is the eerie wailing coming from inside the walls. You can hear them at my end of this L-shaped department and in the stairwell outside my door, nowhere else.
