Halloween.
It's always a challenge for the neighborhood.
What to do?
The kids are all wise to us.
Each year they get smarter and it gets harder and harder to fool them.
Last year, the hi-voltage line connected to the doorbell only got the postman... poor Freddie, we miss him. He only got most of the mail mixed up... his replacement gives us mail from several surrounding towns and he throws them from his car. (Maybe a timber deadfall for next year....)
Year before, Jack had that neat trap-door thing on his stoop which dropped whoever pushed his bell into a pit under the porch... we've yet to recieve a new Pastor from the Bishopric...
The spring-net, the trip-line and path-noose are all "old hat" around here and we don't wanna go to explosives (too messy), so I dunno WHAT we're gonna do to try to bag one of 'em this year.
Only a few more days to come up with a good idea and construct it (and then test it on Miss Bertzmunder)...
It's a conundrum, allrite.
