Where the heck IS everyone?

[Zundfolge]

Last year we had almost 140 little (and not so little) trick-or-treaters ... Its almost 8:30 and we've only had about 50.


What the hell am I going to do with all this leftover candy? [insert evil laugh]

I've had at least as many this year as last year - maybe more.

You can bring it to me and I'll dispose of it for you!! I havn't bought any candy for Helloween since I moved to the hills.

Just closed up for the night. Only about 60. I have to say it runs hot and cold here. One year we have 120 next we have 50. The weather seems to have nothing to do with it.

Normally we have the little ones start at 5 and then the older ones later. Our first one was not until 6pm. And this year we had 6 houses lit up within a block. Last year there were only 4 of us.

Two things I did notice this year. Lack of Hispanic kids and a lack of older kids. Normally the older ones are heavy between 7-8 pm. Almost none this year.

Similar story here, we usually have a LOT of kids that drive into our neighborhood (I live in Pleasant Valley). The usual contengent of Coronado high drama kids never showed and neither did all the latino kids. Also we usually get lots of large groups of kids but tonight was lots of single kids (of course each of them had an entourage of 4-5 adults 'cause apparently every parent out there is a helicopter parent ... sheesh, I remember trick-or-treating on my own when I was 7)

What part of town you in Jerry?

Come up to Berthoud! More high school kids than kiddos!!! I'm not that old, but with a young one trying to sleep upstairs I'm over it!!! Funny how the night goes on the costumes turn into jeans and backwards caps and cigarettes!! Finally got the ol lady to shut off the light!!!.....finally the candy is all mine!...I mean....wait...

I took the kids out and got 3 bags of goodies, then came home and gave away $10 worth of store bought candy? WTH, I dont get it cant we just re-give the candy?

BB King- "The Thrill is Gone". I was a kid in the late 60's. We went out several times during the night, going farther and farther from home. Long after dark. No worries, no frights. Things are different now. If I had kids of "that" age, I would NOT take them trick-or-treating. We would go to a haunted house and a Halloween party. We are evolving.

6 kids total tonight. Complete bust.

More peanut butter cups for me so its not a bad thing.
