Halloween visitors

As tradition dictates, we got ready last night for another Halloween night. I now regret that, over the years, we haven’t bothered to keep a count of our colorful visitors - we only started last year - but based on our tally, last evening was a great success. Perhaps the transgenic, fat-laden candies that we had stocked for the occasion or the new lighting that we set up (we just added a new solar-powered light that spots our house number) vastly contributed to a high visitation. While we recorded 18 groups for a total of 62 individuals last year, we broke that record with 22 groups totaling a small crowd of 82 visitors. Some costumes were pretty good, although no nurse wearing fishnet stocking and other sexy paraphernalia showed up as the media had announced. All goblins, spiders and other bees that came to our door were for the most part polite and didn’t even smash our token pumpkin.
