Could you resend it? Sorry---- Trick or treating, and the whole notion of getting candy/food from strangers, seems to be going by the wayside around here. Most kids seems to go to parties or to go in full daylight---not the same. I think the SPAM trap! Could you resend it?

I dunno if you thought it was silly and not worth responding to, or if it got caught in your spam trap. Say, Ma’am, did you see that email I sent you?

It's all a matter of lattitude, there were some crazy notions to have a common European time a while back. Well do you know why great Tom in Oxford begins tolling at 5 past nine? Because that is 9 o clock by Oxford sun time. It was the railways and the industrial age that standardised time. Factory hooter time not rise and shine time. The day began at dawn
And went on till it ended
And if it had not done
Then who would be offended?

We probably live in one of Tucson's worst neighborhoods but the traffic was scarier than the crime on the 31st. He did one small block and had lots of fun. I've been eating all his rejects (a lot) with many of them opened and tasted. Kristina, this was my son’s first year trick or treating at houses.

A friend at work told me that her 10 year old had brought home an entire pillowcase stuffed with candy-----she had more, too, left over from her own house and was offering it to all the students and to us. Charlie on the other hand: What made him most excited on Wednesday was when I told him that we had to do "trick or treat" and that Jim would come home early----he was very excited and that excitement lasted through us getting caught in standstill traffic on the highway and then having to drive all over town to pick up Jim at the train. Charlie only did a few houses---he liked walking on the street at night with us---he shied away from standing at the doors. We only trick or treated a row of condos almost all of whose residents are recently immigrated from India or China; it was a very calm Halloween. Charlie ate none of his candy (he's not really into most kinds of candy, as it is) and enjoyed having "Dad home early."
