| Giant pumpkin skeleton greets trick-or-treaters |
It's Halloween Night and... it was kind of dead... in a bad way.
We went to our usual haunts and the kids were very disappointed to see a lot of houses without their lights on.
Perhaps it's because it was Game 6 in the World Series, with the Toronto Blue Jays battling the Los Angeles Dodgers right when trick-or-treaters are knocking on doors for candy.

Maybe people's budgets are so stretched, they can't afford to shell out for bite-sized candy bars.
Another reason might be because people have moved out of the area, though could there have been so many who have fled the neighbourhood?
In any event, we started late this year, just after the rain stopped around 8pm. Some had decorations up, but didn't answer the door, possibly because they had already run out of candy?
We could see some houses with big screen televisions showing the baseball game -- but the Jays were defeated by the Dodgers 3-1, which means the final deciding game is tomorrow!
The houses that still had candy just before 9pm were generous, trying to offload as much as possible to avoid cavities.
