Happy Halloween!
The ghoulies and ghosties will start showing up soon, begging for candy. In the meantime, however, I have two spooky stories to share:
1) When I bought Halloween candy last week, I neglected to buy Twix. Now, many of you know how much my husband loves him some Twix bars. Today, I tried to rectify the situation. I went to THREE different grocery stores AND Super Target. None of them had any bags of mini-Twix. There was plenty of candy of all other brands. I even went to the “normal” candy aisle, not just the Halloween aisle. NO TWIX. It’s a Halloween consipiracy.
2) True story (and I don’t give a crap what the Straight Dope says, cuz it IS true): I put out street lights. I first noticed it when I was a kid, and it has kept up ever since. The theory is that you don’t notice when they DON’T go out, only when they do. WRONG. I watch them obsessively. Sure enough, if I’m walking or driving after dark, I put out an average of 8-10 streetlights, no matter what time it is. So there.
Everybody have a safe and happy Halloween!

I’m still thinking the conspiracy is just your way of keeping me from my Twix fix.

I put ‘em out when driving, but I don’t think I do when walking.

We have a street light right across from our front porch. I can put it out by just opening the front door. Too bad that doesn’t work for the stadium lights.
