Halloween 2006

I just never know, some years here at the Cove's, there are 3 trick-or-treaters, and some years, I'm absolutely slammed. I've never figured out what the 'predictor' is.

Last year I actually ran OUT of goodies to give out. I had to turn off my porch light, and ignore the knocks on the door. I felt like Scrooge!

So, in spite of the new 'security' fence and gate that is now fully operational, this year I stocked up. I purchased a variety of individually wrapped hard candies, stuff that I like, just in case. I had a little plastic black cauldron 3/4 full of candies.

The kidlets started arriving just at dusk. And they kept coming in little, adult supervised groups, till 10PM.

They were so cute! I even had one memorable costume, Harry Potter! He was adorable with the plaid shirt, glasses, hair, and freckles. Over half the candy was given out.

This year, unlike last, The Sisters stayed out of the way, yet weren't scared by all the unusual activity at the door.

I love Halloween...

Conspiracy Nut?

I am, and am not, a Conspiracy nut. What I am is a skeptical (very!) person.

I find it strange that Cox Cable experienced off /on then total outage this morning in my area at same time small plane crashed into NYC building. This effected my tv cable, internet, and telephone at various times.

When was the last time Cox had such a total outage in my area??? I can't remember when.

When was the last time a small private place crashed into a fifty story apartment building? Anywhere in the US?

Is there a possibility, just a slight possibility, we are not being informed by our government about terrorism, phone taps, email scanning & reading etc???

Damn! if the spinich and lettuce don't get you, the planes will!
