NER: Halloween stupidity
When I was growing up, we went trick-or-treating on Halloween night, after dark, regardless of the day of the week.
Where I live now, the municipalities all set an "official time" for trick-or-treating. It's generally not on Halloween (unless maybe it falls on a Sat or Sun), and it's during daylight hours. This year, our town's is this Sunday from 2pm to 4pm. I cannot see the fun in getting dressed up five days before Halloween and walking around in broad daylight. Apparently, this is for the "safety of the children." WTF? Aren't parents supposed to be going with the young children anyway? I don't understand why people follow the official time. What is the city really going to do if everybody went trick-or-treating on Halloween anyway?
I had never heard of this silly practice until I moved here. Is anybody else's town this dumb? Or is it just Wisconsin?

Mileewaukay...in Algonquin, it means "the good land."
Harrisburg PA does TOT on Thursday.
I think the whole thing is insane. Can you imagine if someone suggested changing the main activity of a Christian holiday?
"All Easter Egg Hunts shall henceforth commence on Holy Thursday."
My family lives about five hours NW (on Lake Superior)
my read shelf:
If they're concerned about safety, the kids should go out before sunset and/or there should be parental supervision. We don't change the clocks back until November this year, so that should help.
Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.
I've been meaning to say this forever, but I SPPH the Wayne's World reference.
