Beach thoughts

Yep... winter is just getting started.

Thinking about the beach.
Not that I'm a great beach person.
One good memory...

On the boardwalk.

The domain of the seagulls.

Yep... they can be a nuisance...

But you take your fun...

I take my fun where I can.

Now I will defend my boardwalk fries.

But popcorn... not so much.

Yep... I'm that grown man,

that acts like a 10 year old,

Throwing the popcorn in the air,

100s of pieces up in a flurry,

Landing on the boardwalk,

attracting 50 plus gulls,

an onslaught of hungry birds.

Note: I would never do this in a crowd.
Unless they were all being assholes.

Trick or Treat

🎃 Halloween 🎃 60 years later. Today, we have better decorations, better movies, better costumes but there's very little is as it once was. For safety we now have Trunk or Treat, or certain businesses handling out candy... but its not the same as when I grew up, no for to door. I grew up in a community of over 300 row homes. It was a very social community filled with tons of kids. Neighbors, classmates, and friends. Everyone went door to door Trick or Treating, collecting candy and being scared at the spooky houses. It was a safe place even after dark, all the homes were decorated. Candy, homemade treats, apples, and cheesy costumes, but great memories. Halloween parties and music. So glad to have grown up in that environment. Today, almost no houses decorate, and what there is, well, hardly shows much effort. It's even more "nothing" out here, isolated in the country, where there's hardly any kids in the community and houses are spread out. I'm the only one in the neighborhood that decorated outside. But I do it every year, even though there are no trick or treat kids coming to the house. Someday, I guess I'll be to old to bother, and be merely a cirn stalk, and two pumpkins on the porch steps... but I'll always have the memories. Hope y'all enjoy a safe and Happy Halloween 🎃.

87 years ago tonight... October 30, 1938

The country was drawn into a radio show that created sheer panic across the country. Many people believed that the broadcast of a radio show drama was actually an invasion of beings from the planet Mars. Leaving Death and destruction in their wake as they traveled towards large cities. The U.S. military was unable to stop their advance. The War of the Worlds. Made even more effective via the still young media of radio. Note: the was no television, so every household gathered around the family radio nightly for news and entertainment. I remember it all too well.
