Hey, neat, the FB algo has suddenly switched to showing me ads for buying new hearses, no doubt for the funeral home I presumably own.

Our cats would straight up burn the house down. With matches. I gave up on the little bags and started getting the big tubs and buying the next one as soon as I open the current one.

That animatronic skeleton can actually be programmed with custom lights, movement, and audio. After weeks of fighting the big guys against the wind, I ran out of oomph to customize him so he's just running stock audio. But next year, he gets a full custom program.

Also, we finally made the jump to full-size candy. Didn't take long for word to get around. Some kid ran away yelling "You were right! They DO have the big bars!" Sad thing is, it didn't cost that much more than the minis we usually do since we'd dole it out in handfuls. Shit's expensive yo.

After having to take last year off, I think we successfully clawed back our claim of being the neighborhood's Halloween House. (And this is after losing Jack Skellington to the wind. He'll be back next year with guy wires and a rotohammer to drive 1/2 inch rebar 2 feet into the ground).

Takes a decent quantity of balls to post full video of the new Zootopia film and make sure that one of the first frames of video you post is the warning about not taking photos or video.

Also, only heard a single 6-7 tonight, so I'll take that as a win.

It may have been the borderline starvation talking, but I thought it was quite delightful. Just Honey Ham, provolone, and mayo.

A bowl of cereal and two slices of sourdough bread had to last me from 8am to 9pm when we finally made some ham and cheese panini.

I clearly overestimated this year. Last year (which we missed) was the first year the second phase of the neighborhood was open so I had no idea what to expect. But I guess there are worse fates that being flush with Reese's Cups and Snickers and M&Ms

Very cool! It's easy to underestimate how hard it is to deal with the damn hair inside the globe.

Katie has made several Leotas over the years and just found a tutorial for a nearly professional model that includes an in-head projector. That's probably the next big project for us.

I've been surprised how many are going for the fruity stuff... Skittles and Starburst. They're passing up full size Snickers for them!

These girls dressed as Hamilton and Eliza and it's just soooo adorable. And they were floored that I guessed who they were.

Tubi quietly won the streaming wars by understanding nobody gives a fuck about "the show we need right now" but everybody is sometimes in the mood to watch "that weirdass werewolf movie with no werewolf that I think Albert Finney was in?"

Fun Fact: 78% of the posts on Reddit for the past two weeks have been that one screenshot of the phishing scam where the URL was rnicrosoft rather than microsoft.

Notable that the prior release (will "no longer use" his official titles and will remain in the lodge) contained a whole lot of "we have decided" as if it were a mututal decision and almost implied it was a voluntary measure. This one is much more singular and clearly top-down.
