I have two little kids, so the buzz

around here is pretty intense already. The two kids next door are orphans for the evening due to insane work

schedules of their parents, so we will be taking them with us tonight too. It\'s sort of weird, but here in

Eugene, there are a couple of areas of town that have built up a reputation of being *the* areas to trick or treat

in. The decorations are unreal; front lawns converted to grave yards; spectacularly costumed folks answering the

doors; a few houses here and there converted from top to bottom into Disney quality haunted houses. It\'s nuts

and as you can guess literally no place to park; suburban neighborhood streets bumper to bumper with parked vans and

cars used to \"bus in\" kids from the rest of town.

Last year, we didn\'t even get one kid at our house. No

street lights or sidewalks. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Oh yeah, I planted 1 single

pumpkin plant in our garden this Spring and we got quite a crop. We\'ll carve them this afternoon.

Anybody

else doing anything particular on Halloween?

Have fun,
Bruce

Well, here in Southern Colorado, it\'s cold as a

witches..., anyway, it\'s really freaking cold and snowing.

As well, my two year old has the flu, so my

Halloween started at 0200 this morning by cleaning up projectile vomit all over her room. Talk about scary.

This is pretty

neat. Apparently the owners of a house had been seeing images and hearing voices for quite a while. They did some

research and found that a lady once lived in the house who lost her husband during the civil war. Legend says that

she used to sit at the table and look across the fields in anticipation of her loved one returning home. He never

came. So, they say she still waits. They caught this image of what they claim to be her. This one is wild, and a

little spooky once you find the ghost. It took me about 15 seconds to find it, but when you do it just stands out.

Almost like one of those optical illusions. Try not to focus on one spot. Look near the table and toward the window.



Click on the link below for the picture. You might have to turn up the volume on your system to hear the noises.

They\'re faint, but you can hear the ghost talking at times in a low murmur.
