​Happy Halloween!



"Trick or Treat!"  

I wonder how many kids these days would know what to do if the prospective candy giver selected Trick!  

Back in our day we'd know exactly what to do.  We'd come back later and soap up their windows, or maybe light a firecracker with a long fuse, place it on their porch, ring the doorbell and, oh yes, run like hell!  Well, maybe we'd do that . . . or maybe you'd do that . . . come to think of it I never did that as a kid.  Guess I always just got the candy.  Pretty weak story huh?   Geez!

Oh well now, as adults, we we don't need to go trick or treating anymore.  We can just buy big bags of candy and then, on Halloween night, turn the porch lights off and

sit in the dark.  You'd be surprised
how much candy is left at the end of the night!

There must be a Homecoming dance going on somewhere as the Turntable starts off with "A White Sportcoat and a Pink Carnation".  The flipSide begins with CCR - "Credence Clearwater Revival's"  "Bad Moon Risin" (think Halloween).  Skip's Corner is all in this week featuring a rather harrowing brush with Bigfoot!  Finally, our "newsworthy"  SUCK'S NEWS features Steve Hartman's encounter with a professional pumpkin carver!  Finally Skip and Lynn share a couple of pics of their life in Juneau on PICTURESQUE!

                               Till Next week / Stay safe and I'll see you on the Turntable!
