Good morning –
Last year, my wife Jen and I had lived in our house for a grand total of ten days when it was time for trick or treating. It’s a densely populated street in Columbia Tusculum and I thought at the time that there were a lot of families with kids in the area. So we had something like five pounds of candy ready for them. We had three trick or treaters. They made off pretty well. If I remember right, I told them to take handfuls. Or should that be hands full. Anyway, they got a lot of candy.
This year Jen bought just one bag of bite size Kit Kat and one bag of bite size Snickers. And we’ll probably have 300 trick or treaters. But it’s cool, I have plenty of pennies to hand out. Getting pennies really irked the ten year of version of me. And as adult, it makes even less sense, because you’re basically putting one of the most germ covered, smelly items that exists in society into a bag of food.
Also on the issue of our neighborhood. As previously mentioned, we live in Columbia Tusculum, and coincidentally, we live three houses down from Cincinnati Mayoral candidate Dr. Brad Wenstrup. Yet I’m confused because for some reason his website says he lives in Mount Lookout. Anyway, I met him once, he’s a nice guy. He has a huge campaign sign in his front yard and I’m guessing he won’t skimp on Halloween treats. Maybe he’ll even give out the most dentist recommended treats of all. Campaign stickers.
My favorites from today's GMTS:
- Phillies Win Game 1 –
It’s not that I want to see the Yankees lose, but it’s cool to see a team completely shut down such a presitigious powerhouse, like the Phillies did last night. Game 2 is tonight.
- Ferret In The Pants -
A Florida man shoplifted a ferret from a pet store by putting it in his pants. The ferret was rescued and is fine. But here’s the quote of the day: "Stuffing a ferret down your pants in order to steal it is not only stupid, but it's a little dangerous," Sgt. Thom Bingham said.
Normal words spellcheck didn't know

AVERAGE CATS
Yesterday the distracting link was to http://mylifeisaverage.com/ . This is from the same people, and possibly funnier. It’s a spinoff of Lolcats, also funny.
