Wow, We Have Like No Trick or Treaters

[chomiji]

I could cry, because I bought the usual butt-load of candy. We've had one party of two scarecrows, maybe nine years old, too tongue-tied to say "trick or treat" but happy to count their goodies aloud when I said "you may have three." And that is IT. This is terrible. We usually have ten or twelve groups at least.

Maybe the tornado warnings scared them off?

My pumpkin was certainly less scary than usual. I start with the eyes and messed up the first one, so it had to go from a sly and sinister smiler to a grinning goofus.

ETA: On LJ, I used to be able to do simple HTML things in my entries, like float a picture so that the text of an entry wrapped around it. DW is doing stupid when I try that. I give up.

One of my co-workers said he was keeping his daughter home tonight because of the weather warnings, so that may be why.

We definitely had a big weather-related drop-off this year: 101, down from 176.

That is an excellent jack o'lantern.
