Looks like a little lighter than last year but not by much. Just
under 6 bags of candy with 10 minutes left. Then off to OUR party

I'll bet the flu had a lot to do with it. I wonder how many people
will catch the flu waiting in line for the vaccine.
I bought my candy on Thursday, and had eaten almost a third by 8PM
last night. (out of 3 bags, two of mint 3 musketeers and one of of
peanut butter with choclate and nuts something)
I never before forgot, but at 7:00, I remembered it was Halloween, and
I plugged in my second floor doorbell**, and went downstairs to turn
on the light. However the light wouldn't go on. Not even a little
bit (it has a photocell that makes it hard to turn on, and if I don't
keep the door open and stay in the hall, I don't even know if I've
succeeded. But this time I know I didn't.)
I looked outside and there was no one. Of course it is raining, a lot
of small drops, or heavy mist, something like that.
Of course I did everything right last year and I think I had no one.
I've been meaning to ask my neighbor Debbie if she had anyone last
year, and now I see a whole year has gone by.
I'm also tucked away one house down a dead-end sidewalk and hidden
behind trees. A lot of people don't even know I'm here, but I woudl
expect children to be more well-traveled and more observant.
**It's been unplugged for two weeks because it kept buzzing
periodically even when no one was pushing the button downstairs.

Just turned 7:00 here, St. Louis area. Haven't had a single treater yet.
Looks like a lot of candy will go to the freezer

Last year I got about 50, and it was pretty even between
boys and girls. By 7:15 tonight, 18 boys and 8 girls.
Maybe everyone's worried about the flu? Glad I didn't buy a
lot of candy.
