Hallowe'en 2023
Oct. 31st, 2023 10:55 pmHoping all your hauntings were happy ones.
Hallowe'en 2021
Oct. 31st, 2021 10:11 amYeah, so we're back to another Hallowe'en.
I wish I felt comfortable with what Ottawa's Chief Medical Officer of Health has said about trick-or-treating this year as of October 7th, seeing as some of the Pandemic rules are still in effect. We'll see over the next two weeks what the consequences of that choice are, depending on how many people decided to have their families run with it.
Meanwhile, some advice is making the rounds:

Whether Hallowe'en or Samhain...
Oct. 31st, 2019 06:09 am...I hope that today is kind to you.
Take care, and I expect to be back for a visit after work tonight.

A question about Hallowe'en...
Oct. 30th, 2019 07:46 pm...from the CBC Ottawa newsroom: "Who runs Hallowe'en?"
They ask because we're expecting some serious rainfall tomorrow night, serious enough to wreck the fun of a lot of honest young haunters looking for treats to play tricks for.

Got any suggestions for them? Anyone?
And they have a follow-up poll:

A brief Hallowe'en report
Oct. 31st, 2018 09:08 pmTwenty-six trick-or-treaters at my door tonight.
I am happily surprised.

Post-Hallowe'en Mystery 2011
Nov. 1st, 2011 10:43 amSeems 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...

Hallowe'en in Orbit
Oct. 31st, 2010 04:36 pmHow cool is it that we live in an age that we can see stuff like this?

Night Before Hallowe'en...
Oct. 30th, 2010 09:30 pm...and we've got snow on the ground here in Ottawa. It might mostly melt away over the course of the day tomorrow, but the snowfall happening at all pretty much cements the end of summer and the uncertain status of fall in the neighbourhood at this point.
Well, it's been a busy enough day, well-travelled. Wanted to get down to Hunt Club to get a picture of one of the street-name signs for Paul Anka Drive, but no luck. Later in the week for that.
Tomorrow, the SF Society meets to discuss the present season. You can check out![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ottawa_sf for the details if you're in town and interested.
More as we jointly think of it...

Writer's Block: The Undead
