Ghosts, Goblins, Bacon and Eggs

Halloween is upon us. Local streets, graveyards, basements and closets are crawling with ghosts and goblins. The local papers are chock full of articles about ghoulish activities going on all around town. Our homes, bars, restaurants, stores and businesses are all decorated with spooky images of spiders, jack-o-lanterns and black cats. Each newscast we see features a couple of scary segments related to Halloween. Cable TV stations are airing show after show about hauntings, killings and other creepy things to frighten the wits out of us. The movie theatres are oozing with slash and gore horror flicks. Haunted houses are open in nearly every community, and the “haunted corn mazes” that have gained popularity the past few years seem to be everywhere. On top of all that, the moon has been full this week, making things quite a bit eerier than normal.
What are my kids dressing up as for Trick-or-Treat on Halloween you might ask? Well, bacon and eggs, of course! So, if any of you are out and about in Hubertus this Wednesday evening, consider this your warning! I’d hate to see someone make a mess of their pants from such a bloodcurdling sight.
G’Night G’Town!
Deep into the darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
~ Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven
