Tonight, the dark night of death and danger.
It's Halloween, when America's obsession with dark and death comes alive. The lovely houses along the street are decorated with spider webs, tomb stones, witches, skulls and bones of the dead.
"Honey, isn't it fun noodling through the graveyard to get to the doorway?"
This is the night concerned mothers are frantically checking the Internet to find where the local sex-offenders live ... "Now kids, watch the bushes, a pedophile may jump out and grab you."
Tonight "trick or treat-ers" are hitting the best houses for a "freebie" a chocolate bite of the good life. The pros already have the spots picked out from last year. (Good example of the rich giving to the poor!)
Concerned mothers in my neighborhood are out before dusk holding the hands of their children, ranging in age from six to eighteen. Mama knows best when it comes to a dangerous night like this. A car could hit my eighteen year old, he's a real clutz!
The costumes are cute too. . thanks to Walmart and Target the kids are out in colorful costume. The little devils, witches and monsters in appropriate costumes.
Many of them with little bags for the freebies, others, more optimistic, carry a couple of grocery bags each.
Driving home I saw a "retired police" car cruising the streets looking for ... any suspicious male in the neighborhood.
We are safe, safe, safe here!
Mama, what's that? Oh honey, that's a man's ribcage when he isn't in it. Mama, does daddy have one?
Honey, keep walking!
So the night of America's romance with the dark of demons, devils, witches and death continues on. . will we ever get enough of darkness? ... sorry Halloween-ers, but my day is Easter! Easter Sunday morning is coming and light trumps darkness. PTL !
