Wet Halloween

We weren’t expecting many trick-or-treaters last night, but we didn’t get any at all. It rained almost all day and into the night, so I would imagine most parents took their kids out to the shopping malls to let them do their trick-or-treating under the safety of lights and under the dry roof.

I think that letting the kids trick-or-treat at the malls is a good idea. You don’t have to worry quite so much about the safety of the children running around in the dark streets, and the likelihood of getting some candy that was tampered with is slimmer.

I can remember in years past that local hospitals used to offer free x-ray screening of Halloween candy to make sure that there were no metal foreing objects in the candy! How sad is that? I haven’t heard of that being done in more recent years, though. Maybe they decided that bombarding candy with X-rays isn’t such a good idea!
