Happy Halloween! This is our first weekend Halloween in the land of rugrats, so we're not sure what to expect... usually on weekdays, they wait until after dark before beginning their Cornholio runs, but it's possible that we'll get an unusual number of visitations during the day today. Due to this, some kids may get to experience my exasperated football fan costume if they arrive at the wrong key moment...

We had a great visit with the breeder yesterday... he has great dogs, and we are looking forward to our new puppy more than ever. Oh, by the way, we finally found Hudson her superhero costume, so this year she really is finally actually dressing up as Hudson the wonder dog for Halloween.

Finally, happy Standard Time to all who have had their clocks fall back today. As always, I enjoy getting the extra hour, but hate the earlier sundowns in a big way... I'm going to add permanent Daylight Savings Time as a second campaign promise for my eventual run for the presidency (my first promise is mandatory annual driver tests for those over 70).
