While most Americans my age are out having crazy Halloween parties with their college friends and fraternities, I decided October 31st was the best time to cook some steaks on the grill with an old high school friend. We discussed the typical religion, politics, sports, local news, etc., and enjoyed cold beer and good food. What I didn't take into account was the idiocy of Trick-Or-Treaters and their parents. My friend and I were not in costumes, the exterior lights were off, and there were open containers of alcohol in plain sight. Normally, that would indicate that a particular house is not participating in Halloween festivities for children. Nothing against kids. We were always polite towards kids that would walk up. But if you are a parent walking your kids around the neighborhood and you notice a house with this kind of environment, use some common sense and don't send your kid to someone's garage asking for candy. Use your head.
A cold front moved into North Central Florida on November 1st, so the weather has been very cloudy. It finally cleared up late yesterday afternoon so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a few pictures of the DRZ.
