Halloween II

Only in a small town would there be a hayride pulled by a tractor in town. Only in a small town would the police and firefighters be passing out candy from their vehicles. I like it: I like it alot.


Needless to say, Kai is being an ablsolute butt and barking at everyone.

Happy Halloween

Halloween was always one of my favorite holidays growing. A time of make believe and shameless begging for and eating of candy. I must have been a unholy horror all jacked up on sugar. I don't remember being one but I do remember having fun and enjoying the collection of sugar rich treasure. My neighbor's homemade candy apples were the absolute best. I still misss them when this time of year comes around. Now that I am supposed;y grown up, I understand why adults continue this tradition. It is a hoot to see the kids come by. The most memorable kid that came by our place was when we were still living in Michigan. A three year old was out for the first Halloween. He was old enough to barely know the routine but forgot everyone when he saw our dog Lobo. The Father was heard to say, "Don't kiss the ... awwwdang." Too late. Neveer work with kids or animals and we were dealing with both. Have a happy and safe Halloween.

Here's a video just for fun.

The Good Ole Hockey Game

I got to see Saturday's game live. Nothing better than being at mid ice and high enough to see both ends clearly. The Komets won 3-1 over Bloomington and the shut was almost taken. Lost it in the last three minutes. Great end to end hockey. Looks like it is going to be a good season. I noticed that the high emotions from the previous game carried over to this one. With so few teams in the league and there being a lot of playing teams back to back, I am wondering how high emotinos are going to run during the season. That's not always a bad thing. It can make for some exciting hockey as long as it does not get out of hand. Should be an interesting season indeed.

Last Night's Game

The komets got down to the record of 1-1-0 last night. They lost their game. They are playing bloomington again tonight in Fort Wayne and I get to see the game from the nose bleed seats. Cheapest way to go at $9 a game. Hopefully the outcome will be better at home.

The best thing about last night is that Kim and got to seethe latest Harry Potter movie for a dollar total. Not too shabby. It was pouring down buckets of rain but it was a good movie and listened to the last half to the hockey game. It was really close to the middle of the second period when we tuned in.

WAymarking over the weekend.

I had to laugh at myself over the weekend. We were going inot Albion for dinner and I wanted to check out we could find for waymarking or caching. Winds up the Noble county Courthouse that we had already waymarked is also a benchmark. I guesss I should have check the area out more the last time. It just seams like there is so much out there to find. We wer also able to get the water tower benchmark while we were out.
