Halloween

I love to jump onto classified sites to see if there's anything that I think I need or want at a price that I can convince my wife that it's worth it. I'm always surprised at the weird things I find on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, KSL Classifieds, or Craigslist...

There is no doubt that Halloween in 2020 will be different than past years. Parents are left to wonder whether or not it's safe to trick or treat. Costume sales are down, and the number of people dressing up this year will be the lowest in a long time...

Even with a pandemic and a coin shortage, trick-or-treating for UNICEF is still on. No one will be collecting coins in cardboard boxes this year, but there are still fun ways for kids to be part of the tradition.

Okay, okay, I admit it. I'm a sucker for a good ghost story. I'm not sure why because if I watch those kinds of shows ad movies at night, there's no way I'm falling asleep, and if I do, I'm definitely having nightmares. Maybe I just love the adrenaline rush...

Everything has been canceled or changed due to covid-19, while I am sad that the event and activities have been canceled I am am a little relieved it is not for the reason everything else has been canceled this year.
