Halloween--go or no go for tonight?

[perry]

No, couldn't have been. The government and weather radars cannot be allowed to control everything! I'm sure there are a great deal of people out there and they will report in when they get back.

We didn't have Doppler radar to prevent us from getting trapped in storms.

"The government" has kids... you think "they" want to be out in this mess? Screw the kids. The adults wanna be warm & dry!

Went on as normal here in Mishawaka. The rain actually stopped for a couple hours so all was good.

Better go tomorrow.

Kids will apparently scarred for life if they get wet or don't go at all.

Still not raining here

Monsoon in Lafayette.

Last kids were at 8:15PM all wearing clear trash bags. Talk about dedication.

I only had 3 groups with a total of about 10 - 12 kids. I expect more out tomorrow. We usually have about 60 or so kids show up in past Halloween days down here in Evansville.

I don't have a problem with people deciding not to get out and weather the weather. But do we really need government telling us when to go trick or treating? That doesn't raise your eyebrows? Are we so stupid and dependent that we can no longer decide, "Well, it's late enough, I'm not giving any candy out to anybody from this point on." Do you really need Ballard telling you when to shut your door and turn off your lights? Good God, no wonder.

Zombie flower girl (Kirk's niece) wants your candy . . . and your brrraaaaiiinnnns.

Still not raining here

This ^^^^^^ still

Trick or treat hours here from 5:30-7:30p Central- no rain during that span. A good time was had by all.

We had 58 trick or treaters. We usually average about 25-30.

La Porte is re-scheduled for Friday. Sucks, but the kids were indifferent. We just enjoy spending time with family, so it doesn't matter the day for trick-or-treating...

 

[Naptown]

Looking out the window in Fishers... it was the right call.

I agree. I just hope mother nature cooperates in the future and we never have to postpone it.

Our church had a "shin dig" of sorts last night.

I think there were probably 2-3x more folks in attendance since all the other stuff had been postponed. It was crazy busy. Like "get me out of here right now" crazy. Hour waits for the "bounce house" type inflatable things. YOU stand in line with a 2.5 year old...

AAAANNNNndd... They ran out of food. There just didn't seem to be time between the decisions of postponment and the food providers to have come up with more/extra. That was a bummer for a lot of people.

But - it was relatively dry in Greenwood until just after we arrived home. Then it rained something fierce. Storm sirens went off - interrupted my video game. But at least the power didn't even flicker!

So how was the shindig at "Uncle" Kirk's house?

My son and I stopped at about 7:30 and it was starting to rain pretty good. It's a good night and I saw a lot more kids out then I expected. It was still a lot of fun.

Well how did that work. "Hey I see you like the same ride as me-wanna date?"

The actual line was," excuse me, is this the end of the line to the Haunted House?" Now I'd been using that line in bars for years to quizzical looks, but not until I hit Orlando did it actually work. Her response "yes, wanna get married and have 2 beautiful girls?" I said"sure, but aren't you much too young for me?" Her sister wanted to flee, but L could smell my pheromones. 34 yrs later 2 grown girls and a beautiful wife who thinks I need to grow up.......

 

[findingZzero]

The Marion cty postponement doesn't make you do anything, but gives kids license to T or T Fri nite w/o folks thinking they're excessive l'il beggars. At least that's my take. (The excessive l'il beggars, or budding entrepreneurs do both nights).

 

[bkeesler]

I don't understand why kids can't go out in the rain.
