Google Earth, Double Masks, and Rosie Doesn’t Make the Cut

One will be home for make-up at 10:30 tomorrow, followed by a parade and a party. Then, the evening’s strategy will begin to unfold. This is the Google satellite map of our neighborhood:

It’s all part of an ambitious plan to get the biggest candy bars in the neighborhood. 

Maxim candy bar size– minimum steps — that’s the goal.

There are people, like us, who pass out the mini-sized candy bars. But there are others, who pass out regular sized — and some JUMBO-SIZED candy bars. 

Quite amazing really — as I grew up at a time when candy was outrageously expensive, and all we got when we trick or treated was Bit-o-Honey’s and Candy Corn. 

Chocolate was a rarity. 

Tomorrow night, if the boys hit the jackpot, and get a “license plate” candy bar, they’ll be ready. That’s when they whip out the second mask — the double — so they can go back to the door and try for another.

I guess that would be considered a “trick?”

In the interest of time, Rosie doesn’t make the cut.

They want her to stay at home — she’s too slow and too distracting.
