Carpundit reports he spent $5 buying candy off his kids tonight:

... My older son jumped at the first offer: ten cents a piece. But not his younger brother. No, the younger boy held out through several offers and only relented at 25 cents a piece. In the interest of family harmony, I gave both boys the benefit of the latter's hard bargaining. ...

B.K. DeLong posts photos from Halloween Central.

Big Bri marvels that four alleged Bloods were arrested as they got off commuter rail in Salem:

... What a disgrace! What sort of good gang member takes the time to come up with the fare money to take the Commuter Rail? Whatever happened to the good old, honest, hard-working gang member who perhaps carjacks a mini-van or something to get to the showdown? ...

... [W]hen I step outside my door and see a white guy dressed in an afro and a dashiki, I realize how far we still have to go. Especially since the guy he was with (of course, also white) was wearing the Flava Flav oversized clock. I don't have any great words of wisdom to add other than these: That's not okay. Not even close. It's racist. You might think it's funny and charming, and I'm certain that your all white fraternity thinks it is, but it's racist. I don't care if you listen to rap and took an African American studies course. It's racist. ...

Our candy reputation spreads

Margaret wonders where all the kids went.

Apparently, they all drove over to our street. We got at least 88 trick-or-treaters. A lot of them not only don't live on the block, they don't even live in our little neighborhood - word must've gotten out and people in minivans and cars were dropping off kids left and right on our block.

Helps to know the neighbors, though - they were definitely more generous with the candy with the local kids.
