What are your plans for Halloween?

It used to mean something to me as a kid, a magical night of freedom to roam the neighborhood and... collect candy, but first it was the freedom. :)

The history of Halloween is fascinating. A Pagan Celtic Festival, Samhain combined with Roman Feralia and Pomona celebrations. Massaged by the Catholic Church All Saints Day to sell to The Pagans.

And these traditions came from Europe, and was first most popular in the Southern States, but this article credits millions of Irish immigrants for really helping it take off in popularity, where it subsequently transitioned into a secular holiday at least according to this article:

Now regarding marketing, what really irritates me is mid Oct and the local building supply store is full of artificial Christmas trees and decorations.

Oh, a golf cart is a small, usually electric, form of transportation for 2-4 people - originally designed originally to carry golfers and their bags. They legal for use on roads that allow for LSVs (typically marked as 35MPH or slower), or special road specifically designed for golf carts.

Same as any other day. It's a Saturday. I'll work and then come home at 8 or 9. I usually always work on Halloween so it's just another day. Halloween is for the kids. I think the last time I did anything on Halloween was when I was still a kid back in the 70s.
