I guess Halloween might as well have been banned. Because of the amount of kids that came by last year, I bought 3 bags of candy. I gave away a grand total of three Nestle Crunch bars.
I was surprised. The weather had cleared up, it had quit raining. Considering this is South Dakota, its not even very cold.
So what's everyone going to do for Thanksgiving? Stay home and bake Cornish Game Hens?
And what am I going to do with three damn bags of candy? (Minus 3 Crunch bars)

Wimp. What is it, upper 50's - lower 60's? I wish it was that warm up here. Perfect excuse to wear shorts. It doesn't get cold up here in the Midwest until late November - mid December at the latest. Of course, there have been exceptions some years...

Yes, of course it's getting to below 70, that's why it's cold here, SHEESH! You mean there's such a thing as below 50???
That would be a blizzard here.
Yes, I've seen that "Cold" is a relative thing, it was going around in an email a long time ago, very funny.
Please email me for my address, who ever has the left over chocolate.

Naples man coated Halloween treats in flour, scaring children
NAPLES, Fla. -- (AP) -- Two girls, one dressed as Dracula and the other as a devil, scooped up their final treats Halloween night but got a frightening trick instead -- candies covered in a white substance.

``I thought I got anthrax on me,'' a sobbing nine-year-old later Tegan Lane told a Collier County sheriff's deputy.

Lane and Tallia Cerrito pulled Tootsie Roll candies -- which had been covered in flour -- from a wicker basket outside of neighbor Ronald Bryant Hilburn's home.

Tallia, 9, felt the powder and rubbed it off. But Lane tried it.

``She said, 'This tastes funny,' and then she started crying,'' recalled Tallia's mother, Tammy Cerrito.

Tallia started shaking when the other little girl asked the adults, '``Am I going to die?'' Tammy Cerrito said.

The mother then knocked at Hilburn's door, but no one answered.

With the kids upset and crying, parents and neighbors called the sheriff's office.

Hilburn, 48, a tennis pro at Pelican Isle Yacht Club, was charged with committing a weapons of mass destruction hoax, a second-degree felony. If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison and a fine as high as $10,000.

Hilburn told deputies he was playing a joke when he tossed flour on the candies, but that he'd been advised against playing such a prank.

``The neighbors warned me it was not a funny joke,'' Hilburn told an officer. ``It was not a good idea.''

Hilburn was released from the Collier County Jail Thursday after posting $20,000 bail.

Tammy Cerrito said the two girls had asked before they went out trick-or-treating whether it would be safe.

``You know, we didn't go outside the neighborhood,'' Tammy Cerrito said. ``We thought it would be safe.''

She said the children were upset after the hoax that they just went home.

The Cerritos checked the rest of the candy and Tallia was so upset she stayed home from school Thursday.

``I was shaking. I thought it was anthrax. I couldn't sleep last night,'' said Tallia Cerrito.

``Most of the children were terrified because they're old enough to know about the current anthrax threats,'' said Jeff Lane, Tegan's father. ``It's a Halloween they'll never forget.''
