Halloween

[RSteve]

Twenty years ago, because there's an elementary school at the end of the cul-de-sac on my block, I'd have 100 kids knocking on the door. Over the years and the school closing for many years, the number of trick or treaters dwindled to a handful. Last year, because of Covid, I kept the house dark and didn't give out treats.
Now, the once vacant school is a St. Paul public Chinese language immersion school. It's a magnet school and kids are bussed in from all over the city. I'm debating whether to run to a local grocery and buy treats or keep the house dark again. I usually buy stuff that I like to eat myself; big mistake!

We bought one of those big bags of candy from Costco and so far not one kid has shown up. Guess I will have to eat the candy myself.

Not one trick or treater. Multiple bags of little candy bars. I like the Snickers and Twix the best…and then Heath…and Almond Joy…and Baby Ruth…and…….well, you get the idea.

I bought ten five packs of Aldi house brand small German milk chocolate bars. Not one kid.
