My treat passing out is done for the evening. I had about 50 people, who were mostly either under 7 or over 12. Seriously, there are a lot of teenagers who want free candy. One little kid who was 6 or 7 was an old man and was totally awesome.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
In random news, I'm watching Ellen from earlier in the week, and there's a whole slew of Vegas showgirls on, and damn if they don't have the most perfect bodies. Not too skinny, not all hardbodied, just perfect.
Dancer!Nicole was a vegas showgirl. That was one of her Professional Dancer aspirations along with Rockette and Broadway Show (all of which she did).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Those seem like pretty practical professional dancer aspirations! I mean, there's a ton of work, compared to almost any other kind of dancing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oooh!
They are reading The Raven on my radio. I love this halloween tradition.
I saw a rattletrap old green pickup on the road today. Around here you see a lot of these who hire out for rubbish hauling. They often inspire fear with their tottering makeshift bedwalls and precarious piles. What was notable was that the plywood walls encompassing the bed were painted amateurishly with US flags and read "JUST VOTE" and on the tailgate "VOTE 11-04-08!" "TUESDAY" It was just charming to see. An everyday citizen compelled to spread the message.

She had a list she made up when she was a teenager and did them all. Rockette was the last one and then she retired to making custom-made dancewear.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
we just carved a barack o'lantern! SO FUN.
Noah and Grace were dressed as Things 2 and 1 respectively. Not so down with the wigs. But we had fun at her party.
Now we're going to a community halloween event Noah just pulled 8 wipes out of the container. Gotta go.

Our wings are not tired.
One of the puppies is now attacking the jacko-lantern. Awesome.

Thrive to spite them
Mom voted early and she's gotten a lot of last minute campgain stuff from the Republicans (she's one, voted for Obama). Including a plea for money from Palin. There was a reply letter and an envelope, she talked about returning it with the statement --- Not just No but Hell No!
The Republicans are going to have do some major changing to win her back for Presidential elections.
