Yeah Dave, ...it was pretty bad tonight. As a posed for several of these photos tonight that Teresa took, I could hear a few kids screaming at there mommies and daddies, "look at that really scary one, take a picture of it"!

All of the sudden, I was getting camera flashes from all around. So I decided to walk away, thinking I was in the way of parents taking pictures of pumkin carvings. As soon as I started to move away, people began screaming and running away saying..."it's alive...it's alive"

There went my confidence...again!:(

Ric, very cool...and I'm jealous to see you wearing a jacket. It's going to be in the upper 80's here today. And we're keeping an eye on a tropical storm. When I was a kid in nothern Wisconsin I can remember a couple of years trick-or-treating in the snow.

Hey Juliet. Tereea and I went to the 'Great Jack o'Lantern Blaze' in down-state New York (you can Google it). It is run by the Hudson Valley Historical Society (I believe). There were literally 1,000's upon 1,000's of carved pumkins! How and where they found all the victims to care all those Jackolanterns is besides me?

Hey Cindy, we froze our tushes off last night. We had the last walk-through at 9:oo pm. But it was great! I also remember trick-or-treating in Idaho in the snow also, when I was a young muchkin.
