Not 1 trick-or-treater. That’s a first. Since we moved in in 1977, we have always had a few come by.

It reminded me of the old days. I was 5 the 1st year I remember. We were out till midnight and we collected our share of all kings of goodies. It did make me wonder why we didn’t have Halloween once a week, or at least one time each month. I certainly would not have complained at every other night.

When I moved out to Southern California, it was really neat. It was warm and some folks left their lights on till 2. I’d come home with a pillow case half full of all sorts of stuff.

Well, this year, it got cold, almost freezing. As near as I can tell, that was what stopped the crowds this year. Maybe there have been previous Halloweens that have been colder. I don’t know. However, this one sure stopped everything, cold, if you’ll excuse the pun.

However, it does seem to me that all the experts say we are all getting warmer. Well, just maybe they can explain that to all the trick-or-treaters.

Well, as for me, they would have had to tie me down when I was a kid. If I could walk to school in the snow, and I did, then I could go in search of candy in a near freeze.

Oh, and by the way, this will likely make all those who bought Reese’s peanut butter cups very happy. I mean, as the commercial says, it makes much more for us.
