An October 31 post

It is the celebration of halloween today. I went outside to do some clean-up work. Something very strange was happening. It was in the very air - this feeling like things were just different to normal. I talked to my neighbour and she had also noticed how eerie it was. The very air showed no apparent movement. I have heard of this before. I think the outlanders call it something that sounds like Karm. I didn't like it - it just wasn't natural.

Things have returned to normal now and the air is flowing the way it is supposed to. It would be a shame if the strangeness stopped the children from carrying out their sacred duties of saving the adults from their burden of sugar treats. I would hate to think of the consequences if the toffees I have in the house were not taken away.

Alas it is the teenagers who are likely to burn down your house, while it is the pre-teens who wish to acquire sweets. And the wise child will ask why not have both pleasures?

Alas indeed, but I live in hope.

We purchased ten bags of soft jubes at $1 per bag, and no children turned up. None. We live down a long drive.

What do I do with ten bags of soft jubes?

(I suppose that's a dangerous question.)

Well I had lots of leftover toffees so I experimented to see how well they soften in the microwave with the thought of seeing how well they could be poured over ice cream. They go from looking a bit soft to emitting clouds of evil smelling smoke in a very short time. Is that dangerous enough?
