First of all, an apology to the weatherman. After months of moaning and groaning by your correspondent about the exceedingly and continuously hot weather, you have acceded. It's about 2 p.m. as I write this and the outside temperature is 71 degrees Fahrenheit. Now that's just about perfect. One day recently when I remarked on the mild temperature and said "I'd be happy with this year round," a neighbor said "Oh, no. I said that to a mailman here a few years ago and he replied with horror 'Don't say that! If it was like that EVERYONE would move here!'" So I'll put up with 3 or 4 months of agonizingly high temperatures if the other 8 or 9 months can be somewhat like todays.
But to the business at hand.
I found a couple of other residents with wishes for trick-or-treat visitors, it seems.
Note the rows of skulls around the front door!
One person decorated his entire garage door.
I thought at first he had painted it but SWMBO and I decided it was a kind of decal that will be removed after the horror of Halloween.
Speaking of horror, the BRD had come for a visit and apparently had seen some of these "decorations". She was properly terrified, it seems.
Either that or she was preparing for her next career.
As an opera singer.
