[HiTech]

WOKE UP THIS MORNING AS I USUALLY DO EVERY DAY ..IF I SLEEP ....LOOKED INTO MY CLOSET FOR A CLEAN COSTUME ....ITS RED TOP .BLACK PANTS ..WITH BLACK HAT AND BLACK SOCKS . BLACK SHOES..COLORFUL TO SAY THE LEAST ....BUT ALSO PLAIN AND BORING ...SAME OLD HO HUM ...HECK SAME OLD MASK IN THE MIRROR.... THEN GOT TO THANKING ..MAN HOW TIME FLY'S //SEEMED LIKE YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND GOT TO GO OUT AND WALK FROM BLOCK TO BLOCK .WITH A BIG BAG ...LOADING IT UP WITH HOME MADE COOKIES ...CAKE ..BREAD ..CANDY ..APPLES AND SUCH ..SOMETIMES CHANGE ........STAY OUT LATE WITH OUR FRIENDS FOR IT WAS ALOT SAFER BACK THEN .UNTIL SOME SICK SOB.S RUINED THIS NIGHT FOR MANY WITH POISON .RASER BLADES AND SUCH ..KNOWING THE INNOCENTS OF IT ALL WILL BE GONE FOREVER ..SAFETY WAS NOW THE WORRY ....EVERY YEAR I NOTICE LITTLE BY LITTLE THE LUSTER OF WALKING THE HOOD IS SLOWLY DIEING ..I SUPPOSE I DID NOT REALLY NOTICE JUST HOW MUCH IT HAD CHANGED OVER SO MANY YEARS ...BUT AFTER LOSING MY MOTHER IN 2000.. I SORTA TOOK OVER HER FAVORITE OCTOBER NIGHT ..HANDING OUT CANDY ...SHE LOVED THAT SO MUCH .AND TONIGHT .I WILL CARRY ON .THOUGH NOT AS MANY KNOCK ON MY DOOR....... BUT I WELCOME ALL WHO DO ..ONLY PROBLEM I SEE NOW IS MOST PARENTS DON.T TEACH THIER CHILDREN THOSE ALL TO FAMOUS WORDS MOST OF US OLDER FOLKS REALLY INJOYED SAYING ..LOUD ...... TRICK .OR .TREAT ...

WALKING?

In our town it's the dangdest thing I have ever seen.... hundreds of cars, trucks and yes even TRAILERS full of kids going door to door - the car, truck trailer stops, everyone piles out collects the candy, piles back in and drives 75 feet to the next driveway, piles out .... traffic jams, chaos and little kids. All decided by parents in the name of safety. More afraid of the neighbor than the neighbor's car. UNREAL. Sure am glad no one named Kyle with a last name reminiscent of a midget tree drives these streets.
