On our run last night we saw superheroes, cartoon
characters, a ballerina, a lady bug, a skeleton, and two halves of an
open-faced peanut butter and jelly sandwich walking their dogs.
We also saw a young man dressed as a pothead biking
recklessly in high-speed traffic. His
costume came complete with skunk aromatics for a remarkably realistic effect.
We ourselves must have been inadvertently dressed as moving
targets because the number of cars that almost ran us over was at an all-time
high. You would think that the presence
of young trick-or-treaters would make people drive more cautiously, but the
increased number of pedestrians only seemed to make drivers more
impatient and aggressive.
Fortunately we survived six miles of zombies, goblins and rabid
motorists. Maybe next Halloween I’ll avoid
the candy and skip the run.
