Yes, Thirty (Almost Thirty-One) Year-Olds Still Dress Up For Halloween

... And they make their dogs dress up, too.

Okay, so maybe I don't have a character that I'm dressed as... but I'm dressed UP already. Anyone got a character for me to be? I just told people Coop & I were both punk rockers. Hey, they appreciated the spirit.

Also, I have another topic for the day (I know! Write it down!): street lights that go off as you approach. What's up with those stupid things? It's like there's a motion detector in there that "sees" you coming and subtracts light from your presence. Hellooooo... I was kinda using that light to walk by! Tonight, I took Coop & Kona on a bike ride after the trick'r treating died down. As I started up the long stretch of spooky, no-houses-there, semi-dark-even-WITH-streetlights road, the one streetlight that was allowing for a okay-this-is-not-that-scary ride just up and quit as we approached. And that was the second time that happened to me today (the first time was, luckily, in the daylight in the newly-completed SAV parking deck). Seriously, though... surely I'm not the only person who experiences this. Does it happen to you, too? Have the motion sensors been programmed to turn lights OFF when we approach? Is it simply a Halloween prank? Are there ghosts in there trying to freak me out? Yeah, that was my theory on it, too.

Hope you had a freaky-deaky ghoulishly happy Halloween!! Send me pics of your costumes. I mean it. :)
