For the last two years... high twenties, including about 10 teenagers.

The streetlights have been on for just over a half hour. The temp is about 16C (warm for tonight) but the wind is whipping from about 40 to 70kph and rain is threatenting.

Mum did not want me to go to her place to hand out treats... not due to the wind... due to the swine flu. She figured parents would not want their kids taking candy from strangers.

Seems that the combo is "working". Two little kids at 4:40PM and none since at my front door.

30 years ago, we would get at least 150... run out of treats not long after 8PM.

How's by you?
