BOO
Boo, boys and girls.
‘Tis the Night o’ the Dead and neighbourhoods all across the land will soon be alive with creatures o’ the night of all sorts. Me? I’m gonna dress up as a job and see if I can scare the crap out of some of the panhandlers down at D&R…
As for you folks, here’s hoping that one and all have themselves a safe and happy Halloween this year. And while we’re at it, here I’m going to toss out just a few simple safety tips to make sure it really is all just good fun (as it should be):
- Carry a flashlight
- Walk, don’t run.
- Stay on Sidewalks
- Obey traffic signals
- Stay in familiar neighborhoods
- Don’t cut across yards or driveways.
- Wear a watch you can read in the dark.
- Make sure costumes don’t drag on the ground.
- Shoes should fit (even if they don’t go with your costume)
- Avoid wearing masks while walking from house to house.
- Carry only flexible knives, swords or other props.
- (If no sidewalk) walk on the left side of the road facing traffic
- Wear clothing with reflective markings or tape.
- Approach only houses that are lit.
- Stay away from (and don’t pet) animals you don’t know.
- And, finally, do NOT knock on this door…
(It’s got weird people that only hand out granola)
