Post-Hallowe'en Mystery 2011

Seems like some neighbourhoods across North American experienced a spike in Hallowe'en trick-or-treat traffic last night, and others just dropped like stones into ponds. Mine, anecdotally, dropped by about half its level of last year.

There's something going on here that I don't think sociopathic pranksters or economic climate trends alone - or together - can fully explain.

Am I right or wrong?

More on other topics later today and tonight...

Remember I mentioned the other day about the situation re: Ottawa Stadium and the Fat Cats?

Well, have a gander at this:

I think the Fat Cats just got told to move or disband. Not happy with this.
