Boo Hoo: Today we have a Trifecta!

In case you did not know it is Halloween with a Covid Pandemic Twist. Fewer people have decorated, and fewer people have been going around Trick or Treating. Truly a shame that this great Amrican Tradition for children and adults has been so sadly affected.

 One of our neighbors who used to spend two to three weeks decorating his house and creating a haunted house has not done it this year, for obvious reasons, FEAR of the Pandemic. Neither did we, even though Diane & I always looked forward to seeing the neighborhood kids as well as strangers. Looking at the happy smiles of the children and their parent will be missed. Now the good news is do not Fear the Real Estate Market, here in Los Angeles  is amazingly  moving at full speed with a few exceptions.

Then to boot did you know today, there is a Full Moon? Clearly it is a good thing that many of the crazies stayed at home today. If you love history the last time there was a Full Moon on Halloween, well it was 76 years ago, but who is counting? Just to be clear it is a Blue Moon and  the last time it was in 1944.

I would be remiss if I did not mention, today  there is also the Time-Tested Tradition, that I have hated for the past four or five decades. That is the Tradition of setting the clocks back. FYI  not only  do I dislike it,  but so do our Pets, no one told them that Breakfast and Dinner will be served later than usual by at least an hour or so. Tonight, is Day Light Savings Time and we all get an extra hour of sleep if our pets allow it!

So not wanting to leave you with all the bad news, let me tell you the good news. Normally these events do not happen on the same day. Usually we get tortured three different days, so we are lucky today is a Trifecta all three will be done by the end of today.

So, with that said let me wish  you a Happy Halloween from Los Angeles, CA.

Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

At my daughter's home tonight, Neighbors were driving their kids around in a all lit up 8 passenger golf cart/van while I held down the fort. More candy for me when they were gone. Jeff

Morning Endre.

We actually ran out of candy last night.  So my wife had to search for other goodies to hand out.  Good thing I had already gone to bed.

I actually had around 5 groups of trick or treaters.  I don't know how that compares to prior years since I am rarely home on Halloween.

Good morning, Endre... I knew it was a blue moon last night, but cloud cover didn't allow us to see it. My neighborhood went "all out" decorating for Halloween this year for the kids. We had a parade and what could only be described as a street festival for Halloween yesterday. I saw some of the cutest costumes in a long time.

I knew no one would be coming up our 1/2 mile driveway off our dark country road for treats... I did however buy some extra goodies for the hubby (you know, "just in case" someone came up the driveway after all).

I hate the time change also. I really wish we could just leave time alone.

Good morning Endre Barath, Jr. - I didn't now about the moons but Halloween was certainly different this year.  Now with no pets I did enjoy the extra hour today.

Hello Endre - although participation was  "down" this year, I still saw some occasional tricks, treats and other Halloween-related "stuff" in evidence.

Good morning Endre. True things are a bit upside down this year, but the one that I do not like is turning the clock back. Enjoy your day!

Endre,

The moon was orange yesterday morning in our area...and the pets have no idea of time change...Quincy usually heads out at 7AM for his walk, and does not understand why?  Happy Sunday, Enjoy...A

Hi Endre Barath, Jr. - In 17 years living in Sedona, we have never had any kids come to our community. A lot of areas in Sedona have long or steep driveways. This is not conducive to Trick-or-treat. But there are neighborhoods that it works well and we have to drive the little ones to those areas. 

As I stated in a post by Margaret Rome - No time change in Arizona or Hawaii. But it is more disruptive than you might think.  It takes quite a while to get used to the change because there is no reference in our clocks.  We now have to remember that California is one hour behind, Chicago/Dallas is only one hour ahead, Denver is now in the same time zone as AZ and Florida, and NY, are only 2 hours ahead!  Besides that, National TV schedules change, flight schedules also change.  It drives me crAZy! Ha Ha

It would be so nice if this was fixed, one way or the other.  It is an outdated concept. 

On a positive note... I thought it was pretty cool that Halloween and a Blue Moon were on the same day!

Oh boy, the pets today! All 5 of them were confused! As for the time change - I share your contempt for it. Our schedules are totally off for the next few months. I hate how early it gets dark in the winter. Ugh.

Love this Endre and have to tell you, I am crazy about your mask - that is AWESOME!

Endre we normally get a ton of kids in my neighborhood Trick or Treating, but this year we did not have a single one.  It is a shame the kids are missing out on something they look forward to every year.

By the way, big improvement on the mask and hair cut!!!

We went to a Halloween Party, er, I mean Protest (LOL) and had a blast. Eating good food, listening and dancing to music is healthy for the mind, soul and body Endre. Nice mask BTW!

Hi Endre,

Good post. I'm glad all 3 fell on one day. It was a definitely a pathetic Halloween for all. We enjoying see the little ones this year Tracy bagged all the candy, we set it out on a table for them to help themselves. Certainly not many kids out this year at all. 

Speaking of poor pets, we have a little foster pup who had surgery on Thursday he is here to recover he is on a ton of medication that Tracy had set up and is now trying to change it so it is not too far out of whack. He's also looking for his meals earlier too! Poor guy!

Love your mask, Endre!

Sorry I missed this the other day, but I did not miss the trifecta! We had a good number of people decorating in our neighborhood and there were a lot of kids and parents out and about.

I hate the time change and it will take a while to adapt...the cats don't adjust well, either...meal time has changed!
