More about pumpkins!

I just read this story and thought it was cool!

BOONE, Colorado (AP) -- Nobody knows who, but someone with a lot of Halloween spirit decorated this small southern Colorado town with hundreds and hundreds of pumpkins. Residents woke up Tuesday to find virtually every surface covered with the orange holiday icons.

There were pumpkins left on front porches and at front gates, on the front and back steps of a church and all along the boundary of the city park. Larry Taylor said there weren't any pumpkins when he walked his dogs at about 10 p.m. on Monday in the town of about 330 residents, 110 miles southeast of Denver. But by the time Postmaster Nancy Pennington drove to work at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, they were everywhere. At Boone Grocery and Hardware, pumpkins were placed on top of the concrete parking stops out front. "It's kinda cool," said employee Bill Coyle. "It's kinda unique. They're everywhere."

Our Halloween wasn't much, although Joe's brother's little grandsons, a Ninja turtle and a Razorback football player, came to trick-or-treat.

Jody said he and Shannon took her boys AND his Golden Retriever and German shepherd trick-or-treating! He said it was fun!

Today I get to start saying, "I'm retiring NEXT MONTH!" Woohoo!

Exercise: Wogged (walked and jogged) my hill in 51:54, which was a new PR (personal record). At the end I was running to songs with the words "I am free" and "Freedom reigns in this place," and I decided to rename my work hill "Freedom Hill."

Food: milk/cereal, apple, a few peanuts (was VERY hungry a.m. but the peanuts helped); pineapple and cottage cheese for lunch, spaghetti for supper.
