Only a dozen or so trick-or-treaters stopped at our place tonight. One was dressed as a giant condom. It may even have been the glow-in-the-dark variety for better visibility. Perhaps not a classy costume, but at least today's teenagers are being safe.

Prior to dusk, and our few Halloween guests, I voted. Hoping Tuesday's results will ruin the GOP and will begin to swing the pendulum of politics and public discourse to a more normal position. With few exceptions, they've made it clear that they are spineless sycophants. They deserve to lose and the country deserves better legislators who will not stoop to the unfathomable lows the party of Donald has in recent years. Good riddance.
