Well, Halloween is over.

The East was hit by a fast moving cold front Thursday evening. The leading edge had a major gust front with high winds, heavy rain and torndo warnings. In the DC area it hit the western ‘burbs around 8pm. Since it had been forecast early and heavily broadcast, the kids started around 5pm and by 7:30 the neighborhood was deserted.

I passed out the usual 50 or so full size kitkats, about 2/3rds to the kids and 1/3rd to their adults who waited for them in the street rather than coming to door. I did have one child who came with a large group who left with the first half the kids, but before I had a chance to give him a kitkat. Amazing how many kids who are so overstimulated that they cannot focus. But I guess that is one of the points of the holiday.

And of course, I have had a ‘few’. Let me say that I do not recommend Katkat bars as a pre-dinner appetizer. Don’t ask me how I reached this conclusion.

The front passed by within an hour. And with it, the rain. But it is still gusty and the temperature is dropping from the mid-70s into the 40s.

Happy Halloween all! Y Dia de Muertos

For visuals I prefer the Aguilar version. For the actual singing, I prefer the Tish Hinojosa version.
