Final count of trick or treaters!
If you could see my neighborhood right now, you’d understand why I say Halloween is the best day of the year. Hundred of kids, almost all houses decorated and handing put candy. Amazing.

Well it’s about time to get ready for work after a week off. It’s been one of the best vacations of my life–and we didn’t go anywhere. Somehow, and unintentionally, it was perfectly paced. It felt like more than a week long. I got a lot done while also having plenty of leisure. I’m very thankful.
Had a great time at Dinky’s Auction last Friday night. Huge place with hundreds of people there. Probably six simultaneous auctions happening across the three big buildings. Didn’t buy anything except a fish sandwich and sweet tea. Audio only because half the crowd were plain folks.
