I hope everyone has an enjoyable Halloween this year. Mine was a deflating experience. Since my wife & daugher were back in Dallas (I was at our VA home on Sunday), I didn't feel like passsing-out candy this year because: 1) I don't feel like buying a costume since my Grinch and Stay Puft Marshmallow Man costumes are in Texas and 2) I don't feel like having to explain why I don't have any furniture in the house to the neighbors and their offspring and 3) I just in a bitter mood since I hate missing family events. Anyway, I kept the lights off and jumped into the aerobed early before dark. Nobody rang the doorbell...not until after 9pm. I can only assume they were the "older" kids since 9pm is a little late to be trick 'r treating.
Anyway, I didn't answer the door since I was in my Grinch pajamas and half asleep on the aerobed. The night felt a "little odd" since I have passed-out candy each and every year since the mid-80s. Well, I get ready to leave for work this morning (4:45am) and someone had deflated my two rear tires. Bastards! Not a "huge" deal since they didn't flatten them down to the rim nor did they do any damage...just enough to cause me not to drive on them until I filled-up both tires. Unfortunately, my air-compressor is in Texas, along with the rest of my stuff...so I had to wait until the auto-club dropped by after 9:30am to fill them up.
Anyway, it's pretty funny actually since the kids were mischievious, yet not destructive. The only inconvenience is that I am having to work 'till 8pm (plus an hour drive home) and I'm back up tomorrow morning at 4:00am.
Lessons Learned: always pass-out candy or park in the garage...or suffer the consequences!.
