Now there's something I can get behind.

Awww, a little rain and we should change it. B.S. Be lucky we live in such a nice climate. I grew up in Canada, and remember having to find costumes that would work overtop a snowsuit. It's rarely above freezing and often snowy.

Suck it up. It's Haloween, it's Oct 31. Should we move Christmas to the fourth Friday in December too? It's as much of a randomly chosen day as Haloween is.

Seems like some people have a lot to complain about. While we're at it, why not petition for Valentines being on a Friday, cuz you know, who wants to go on a big date on a Monday night? And what about Independence Day, it's such an inconvenience to stay up late for fireworks and beer and have to go to work the next day.

Changing Halloween to the last Friday in October makes as much sense as changing Christmas Eve to the last Friday in December and New Year's Eve to the first Friday in January.

You mean the best part of Halloween?

Opting out of daylight savings time will get you sun up at about 5am and dark at about 7pm during the summer months. Was hard to get used to that when I was in Arizona in July for work a few years back.

Looks like the rain may stop just in time for your Charlie Brown Spooktacular and other neighborhood Halloween fun! Keeping my fingers crossed for all the kiddos out there.
