It’s actually possible to hold your breath for the entire time it takes to drive through Flint, NY.  If you take a deep breath at the “Now Entering Flint” sign, you will, without a doubt, make it to the “Now Leaving Flint” sign.  Don’t worry about getting stuck at a traffic light… there aren’t any.  Therefore, you really can’t blame those who live in a town such as Flint for taking Halloween this seriously, can you?

Out and about… Halloween

I spotted this disturbing ensemble at a Halloween party where guests were given the choice between popcorn or gummi worms that had been soaked overnight in vodka.  I actually opted for the gummi worms because somehow I had made it through 32 years on this planet without ever once hearing about, much less being offered, gummi worms that had been soaked overnight in vodka.  After sampling the all-in-one apertif and appetizer, I decided I would much rather just do a shot of vodka and then munch on an untainted gummi worm sometime later at a time of my own choosing.
