3 DUECES AND A FOUR-SPEED

The staff and I were out doing a little shopping the other day. We were suddenly distracted by the sounds of a vehicle racing down the street. It screeched to a halt right in front of us. A women got out wearing a large pointed hat and apologized for the racket. She said a big event was taking place in a couple of days and she had so much to do before then. She politely asked if we would keep an eye on her ride as she was having problems with the starter and didn't want to turn off the ignition. We obliged and asked if she wouldn't mind our taking a photo of it for today's blog. "Of course not, my pretties," she replied. Such a nice lady.

NOT A SAAB STORY

There are many strange costumes people put on for Halloween. I showed you mine a few days ago. While out searching for candy, I noticed many folks had their pets in tow. Some were in costumes having fun with their owners. I struck up a conversation with the fellow above. He said he was just visiting from Sweden and had no idea what was going on. I inquired about his costume and he gave me a quizzical look and said, "What costume?" Ah, Halloween.

TRICK OR TREAT OR ELSE

Halloween is one of the more popular holidays in my neck of the woods. There are many parties and lots of public events in addition to the usual door to door candy grabs. People go to great lengths to outdo each other. They work for months designing the perfect costume. I, on the other hand, just go into my closet and pull out the first thing I see. This is my outfit for the big day. If you see me at your door, say hello. It is rather hard to see out from inside it. Better yet, come out and join me. It should be a lot of fun.
