not so random pic

Helloween
this is a picture of your's truly, "carving" my pumpkin I used my hole saw and a steak knife for 90%. I picked a crazy colored one on purpose. I thought I was being original using a drill, untill I heard this podcast from popular mechanics telling about their "extreme pumpkin carve-off"
http://feeds.feedburner.com/ThePopularMechanicsShow where someone uses nitrous to freeze his pumkin, another guy uses exclusively a hatchet, a lady uses a disection kit, a dude uses a drill and a saber style saw, and of course a guy adds techno stuff (web cam) to his.

it has not escaped my attention that this blog has been very tame in the last few days. Eric has been missed here for sure, I hope everything is going well for him.

Jake, Max ( "Scream" and a Ghostbuster) and I "trick or treated" with Martin, his daughters Maeve and Bridget, who I call "Mac" (a lady bug and a cow) and my (now traditional) flask of southern comfort. While the wife's stayed at the house and made Chili and gave candy to suburban kids.
Martin made an observation: of the houses we saw that were not giving out candy, if they had election propaganda in their yards it was always republican.
coincidence??? hmmm.
We also congratulated Maeve on her second birthday.
