"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Aww.

We're just getting started. I swept the deck, moved all the potentially dangerous in the dark things like rakes & pokers and such clear of the path. But I didn't decorate. This is a very kiddo-oriented neighborhood, so I doubt that will stop anyone. Only, one of the neighbors has moved out, so their house will be empty, if the trick or treaters start there.

Anyway, I have seven bags of candy, two of them large, and am ready for the rampaging hordes. The dog is fed, but will be hanging out in the office here with me while the SO does kiddo duty. Last year we ran out and had to make a desperate pilgrimage to the Walmart in the middle of things. This year they're getting what we got, because it was madness going out in it, madness I tell you.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

my neighbors - twin 7th grade boys are exploding plastic bottles with dry ice. Dad is a junior high science teacher. It is pretty funny esp since one of the boys is in a tyvec suit with sunglasses and gloves. So far we know it has been heard two streets away.But I am with mom - this isn't exactly safe - but there are 4 or 5 boys saying ' but , it is SCIENCE".

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, but since when is science safe? Especially when it's capitalized?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm in programming class. I left my porch light off and recycling bins in the middle of the front steps as a sign that there is no candy this year.

Dad is being mean now - he is making them pick up the bit of bottles that are everywhere.

Hee. Good for Dad.

Sounds like my dad. Both the experiments and the cleaning up.

Actually, it sounds like my brother even more! He has nearly torched the neighborhood every time Alabama allows fireworks sales and even a few times not. The kids LOVE him. Their parents... well, I dunno. Same parents let their 9 year old roam with a pellet gun.

That Dad's a good neighbor.

Rick, thanks for the link. A friend who's working on the Cal State nutrition plan hadn't seen it yet and has now emailed it to everyone in their group, so thanks from CA DHS as well.

Dayum, Daisy. You nailed it! Um, can you make me bras?
