A quick tour of the neighborhood, where people are definitely ready for a fun Halloween!
This one's just 2 doors down from my apartment building:

and some other decked-out places, including a little Silicon Valley Bill Gates humor on the tombstones...



And the scariest of all (I wonder if the Bush sign was supposed to be part of the effect?)

According to a piece in today's Merc, some houses in the neighborhood get 1200+ trick-or-treaters! Of course I got ZERO last year (not even the kids who live across the hall) and ended up eating all the candy I had bought (very bad!!) So I only bought a little bit this year (and already dipped into it (very bad!!)... but maybe I should be prepared just in case? I think apartment buildings would be very efficient places to trick-or-treat personally ...
