October 27th

I went back to gear issue and got a costume that looks like an extra from a Dr. Suess book. Good stuff, at least in my humble opinion.

I enjoyed the halloween party very much. There were at least hundreds of folks, all is costumes, lots in very creative costumes, and everybody was dancing. My personal favorite costume was a shuttle driver who had a tire mark painted down her body from head to toe and went as 'girl who was driven over by a truck'. A group of four dressed as the ghostbusters and used the backpack vacuums as costume accessories. There were a high percentage of mad scientist and more than a handful of people shaved their head for their costume. I love living in a place where the townspeople like wearing costumes on halloween and dance at parties.

As last week, the weather was nasty on my night off. Instead of walking, I spent the evening writing letters and catching up on emails, etc.
