It was nice while it lasted. That one night it was so chilly, I had to go get some chuck roast cut up and tenderized for a pot of my chili.

I’m gonna miss wearing the full quill flip flops for a while.

It's 45f here in Hill Country, we're freezing. Had to turn the heat on, also running the gas "fireplace"

But hey it's supposed to be 65f by the weekend. Formula One here we come!!

I was outside before in my tshirt and shorts. 40 something degrees. Anglo blood craves the cold!

Supposed to be in the low 30s/upper 20s here the next couple of nights for the low. I never remember a Halloween being this chilly going back to my childhood. Must have been fewer cow farts in the last year.

Yep, 41 out here just off I 10 on what I refer to as the last hill (occupied) in the Hill Country, I think there are 2 vacant hills tween me and San Antone...

You will be complaining next year when it's 90. Open your door......and enjoy.

Heard it's going to be the coldest in 20 years. I just remember Halloween being hot and muggy.

We're in the high 40s right now. I'm just wondering how many trick-or-treaters I'll have during the mid-40s temps that are expected after dark tomorrow. I may have bought too much chocolate.

Turn your lights off and watch a movie.

No way. I love giving out candy too much.

I give away those huge 7 oz. Hershey bars. The kids count on me to give them the only decent candy bar they'll see all night.

Heck, I've already had a second-generation trick-or-treater. Last year (or the year before?) a young mother showed up with her toddler. She explained to me that she grew up getting those big candy bars from that crazy guy in her neighborhood. When it was time for her new daughter to go trick-or-treating for the first time, she decided to visit her mom in the old neighborhood and take her daughter around to get one of those big candy bars.

Unfortunately, I can't do as well as I used to. Many years ago, those 7 oz. Hershey bars were wrapped in foil with an outer sleeve/label of paper. It was exactly the right size for me to slip a $2 bill in each candy bar. Now, the bars are shrink-wrapped with one layer and I can no longer slide a bill into each bar. That sucks.

Still, the fact remains that every kid in the neighborhood likes coming to my house for Halloween. I won't throw away that tradition until something weird makes it impossible for me continue.

Man, that's awesome. Folks obviously remember that and appreciate it. I remember a family like that in the neighborhood I grew up in.

No. AOC moved a bit further east. That warm air windbag went far enough to allow normal air fill in behind her.

In all seriousness, and in an ode to Halloween of our youth let me take you back to days gone bye and say...
"Its colder that a witches tit in an iron bra"

Anyone remember soaping window screens. Or a grocery bag with dog shit and set on fire???
