>Where I live now, in the suburbs, Halloween is observed but the town sort of keeps a lid on it. Trick or treating is between 1 and 5 p.m. the Sunday before Halloween.

I remember Whil saying that where he lives, trick-or-treating is on the Sunday, too. I think that's so strange.

Tonight, the kids will be out in force. Unfortunately, very few will come to my door, since my street has no sidewalks and the houses are far apart. I'll probably see the kids from next door (unless they're with their dad tonight), and the ones from the across the street.
