Today’s Halloween… isn’t it?

Where are the effing trick-or-treaters? Eight kids in two hours; three groups total.

I mean, I don’t actually mind hooligans not knocking on my door, but… this is pretty slow. Like, really slow. “Marin’s letting each kid pick out four pieces of candy” slow. “I’m going to have a Costco of candy left over” slow.

[For those who are unaware, the Costco is a unit of measure defined by the amount of the product you can purchase as one item from Costco.]

Do kids just not do Halloween these days, like Den Beste thinks? Or is it because I’m in a virtual no-man’s land on a rather steep hill, and kids don’t like actually working for their candy?

Time for a Snickers.

    I think we have a Costco of candy left over here, too… (I’m totally using that from now on, thanks!)

    The “Costco” is both evocative and humorous, I think. The term originated when Brian and I bought bacon at Costco for a group trip to Sunriver… that was a *lot* of bacon.
