For lack of anything really good going on in Buffalo- and the fact Halloween is on a Saturday- we (my family) have decided to do a one time comeback of our scary Halloween porch in Medina. The history of this stems from the time I was a wee lad and used to get really really scared at a particular house in Medina when I was trick-or-treating. I decided THAT was what I wanted to do on Halloween. So, from 1984-2003 we were one of "those" families that decorated and scared the kiddies. In 04 I moved too far out of the area and, being somewhat old by then anyway to be doing such things, we discontinued it. By that time it had gotten pretty elaborate with the decorations, to the point of me having to take time off from work before Halloween to assemble everything. This year it has been even worse because over the last 6 years, much of the decor has been moved, disassembled, or thrown out. So reconstructing from scratch has been a chore to say the least. Lots 'o work. But it should be a fun time nonetheless and I am looking forward to it.
On that note FUCK the powers that be that decided a few years back to move daylight savings time back a week. This means it does not get dark till after 6:30, meaning most of trick-or-treating will be during daylight. How scary is that?
