    Yeah, me too ...for the most part. For me it was mostly smoking cigarettes and pot, and drinking now and then (whenever we could get our hands on any sort of alcohol).

    Turns out smoking and fishing go hand in hand. LOL Early on, a friend and I used to smoke Lipton Tea (orange pekoe blend, LOL) in corn cob pipes, to keep mosquitoes at bay.

    As a Halloween candy giver/Trick or Treater enabler, I know ^this^ makes me a hypocrite of sorts. It's one of the perqs of not having kids. LOL

    Yeah, I don't feel like it's any more dangerous today vs when I was a kid. The main difference is that now, every time something happens, EVERYONE knows about it and suddenly, it's like everyone believes it happens every day everywhere. When I was a kid, you only heard about local cases, which I lived in a very small town, so nothing happened. Doesn't help that the media really blows it out of proportion (not saying it's not a big deal, just that the media really twists shit). If we heard about everything that happened accross the U.S. at the time, then I may not have gone out as a kid back then either.

    I guess that if anything, it "may" be safer, given all the surveillance systems and cell phones.

    I'll just put out my "convicted sex offender" sign...that usually keeps the little bastards away.


    But seriously...we only have a couple of kids in my neighborhood, but the father is a music minister at the local church, so they do something there.

    If it doesn’t rain I typically get over 200 kids at the door and I’ve counted too at least that before I stopped counting. We get people driving from all the surrounding towns to our neighborhood for Halloween for trick-or-treating. It’s quite amazing.

    Its called fake news for a reason. They run with shit that isn’t real or heavily biased all the time but I think people are starting to realize how fake the news really is now. All a bunch of lies.

    I love fishing too man especially now that I have a real bass boat. Wish you were closer.

    I've seen pics of your awesome setup in my DIYMA Halloween decoration thread. If that's at all representative of your neighborhood, I can see why folks come from far and wide.

    When it's raining do you get considerably fewer, like 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 ...or none?

    Asking your neighbors would give you the best answer if they've dealt with a rainy Halloween in recent years. Maybe your neighborhood has a Facebook page or Nextdoor for you to ask.

    Those are great ideas. Only one of the neighbors I've spoken to has been on our street long enough to know, but she's rather elderly and not at all clear about it.
