Voting, and Halloween
So I went to order my absentee ballot and ended up voting on the spot. I felt a little torn -- on the one hand, if I tried out the touchscreen I might be able to help people with it next Tuesday. On the other hand, ick. I voted paper.
We ran out of little playdoughs. This is because I thought we'd get say 30 visitors so we started out giving everybody two. The package had eighty. I'm guessing more like fifty based on how much candy was left.
The costumes were much better than my photography:
There are more pictures here.
So there were maybe a few less adolescents, and therefore definitely more children. Most of the children wdere Hispanic and accompanied by their parents. There were more home made and spontaneous costumes than I remember from recent years. Is that the economy, or people coming to their senses about what they can make? It's not inexpensive to let Emma make a costume, but her costumes are more costumey than what I saw tonight. The nice fellow locked up the dog in the back room, and like an idiot I brought her into the livingroom when things had slowed down to a trickle, so she barked her fool head, and I felt I had to keep explaining.
I'm falling asleep at the keys, here.
On another front, I waded through a box of papers and got to the point that I can dispense with the box.
