Happy Halloween

Well, we broke all modern records at the homestead today. When we first moved here we would get literally 10s of trick or treaters on Halloween. In recent years traffic has been consistent, at zero. This year we had two, meaning we had an increase of an infinite percentage over last year. I briefly considered giving each one of them half our candy stock, but, hope springing eternal, and all that, held off. Bad idea, as the remaining stash is all going to end up in my stomach.

This year we had a bit of an Obama theme to our Halloween. My brother-in-law Eric is visiting us for a while, having just returned from an extended stay in France, and we put him to work carving a pumpkin. Here he is with his creation, an Obama-a-lantern, followed by said Obama-a-lantern itself.

He’s an English teacher, not a sculptor, and pumpkins can be tough to work with , so, all things considered, not a bad job.
