It's a little late, but Happy Halloween. I hope everyone had a safe holiday
For the second year I got home
after the trick or treaters had been around. Last year I had one straggler and think that one kid was one of those high school kids that just does the rounds sans costume, but this year nothing. Things were wrapped up well before 7:15 PM when I got home. OK so it was a little rainy at that time. There are plenty of kids in my apartment complex I see and hear them often, they just do their Halloween rounds early. The first couple of years at my apartment I had about a dozen to 15 or 16 kids show up, mostly in packs of 3 or 4 kids.
When I was a kid it seemed that things started at about 5:30 PM or just as the sun was setting and the cut off time was about 9:00 PM. It seemed that the TorT window was 3 or 4 hours. Now it seems the start time is 6:00 PM or 6:30 PM and the cut off time is about 7:00 PM, a window of only about an hour.
