ROFL at Larry's post...

Trick or Treat!

We've had a bumper crop of costumed candy gatherers tonight, including at least a dozen that had to be around Willy's age, with lame or almost no costumes to speak of.  I roll my eyes and grumble as they leave, but Joanie says "Aw, let them be kids!"  Oh well, less candy bars left here for us to ruin our diets with.  I think I've given out at least a hundred treats- a new record for here.

[Willy2]

Happy Halloween!

It's going to be a real cold one for the trick or treaters this evening. It's already in the mid 30s and we're looking at a low temperature of 20 degrees. If everything is perfect, we may even drop into the upper teens. Brrrr!

Hope everyone has a great Halloween evening!

[tree68]

You'll have to excuse me for speaking so loudly.  I have my son's three mini-dachsunds here and they raise Cain every time a trick-or-treater shows up.

I'll take a couple of those boo burgers and the fries, if Matt left any...

 

[JoeKoh]

2 boo burgers and fries to go please. picked up matt from school and he still had his train outfit on(bibs and all) so we got some extra toots from the guys at csx as they were hauling the trains. as for brooms in the kitchen they can be very dangerous if you are caught snitching in the food.

stay safe

You know - this "hanging around" isn't too bad.  Does kinda make me a little ditzy (er).  I think I don't have it quite right!  Think I am supposed to be laying on top of the beam, not hanging from it....

Wonder if I can make the hammock from here.....

LOOK OUT BELOW!

[Mookie]

Thank you, Mookie.  You've always been one of my favorites!

        You really know how to turn a girl's head!

CW - stands for Cooking Witch? 

Creative Witch? 

Clever Witch?

One Boo Burger & Franken Fries - with Cat-sup....please!

V~V - (gonna hang upside down and see if anyone looks up here!)

There is such a thing as a Kitchen Witch, and it is based on Norwegian folklore. My Mom used to have one hanging in one of her kitchen windows, and it was riding a broom stick. The purpose of the kitchen witch itself I think, was to bring good luck in the kitchen while cooking. Maybe Cherokee Woman should have one in the Diner - although her cooking is pretty good without it.

"Kitchen Witch" Huh?   That almost sounds like something Ron Popel would try to market!!
(or has he already?)

Mook,want some Cat-Nip to go along with the Cat-Sup?!?!
(BTW,how's the weather up there?)
(actually in my case,CW stands for "Cute Woman"! )

Mookie: I don't look up, I might get hit by something on the ground (crazy Madison drivers!!).

After a high of 67 yesterday, it's now 40, with mid 20's predicted for tonight. Will be cold for the trick-or-treaters venturing out this evening.

Watch out for unusual occourrances tonight, as we get closer to the witching hour........

Well, Mookie, I guess I'm a little bit of all three choices today.  (Of course, I had a tad bit of
help with the menus from a certain 5ft. 10in. Mutt.)

Here's your Boo Burger and Frankenstein Fries--with CAT-sup!!

Morning all!  I can tell by looking around here that something spooky's about!  Some eggs and bacon sound great with some OJ.  It's 33 F here this morning.  I might have to scrape the frost off of the black cat that's roaming around the house. 

Hey CW, will the diner be offering ToT hours this evening?

[CANADIANPACIFIC2816]

Ok - who squealed.  Whoooo told Houston Ed, cuz I know he didn't figure this out on his own. 

It's colder than a witches wart (tee hee) out there this morning.  29 this morning!  Brrrrrr - it is enough to make a cat turn blue!  ^~^

 

 

And you think it's cold in Lincoln, Mookie? Right now we have 20 degrees in Sioux Falls, and with the wind blowing out of the NW at 9 mph, and gusting to 17 mph, it actually feels like 9 F. It's colder than a dead witch's titts here!!

HAPPY HOLLOWEEN TO ALL!! DON'T EAT TOO MUCH CANDY!

It's not often that I get to use the Pirate Smiley here, so I thought it would be a good day to dress up. So "Avast Ye Maties....Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

Tharmeni, good to see you back. Hope all is well and you have a speedy recovery! Watching trains go by is a great way to relax!

CW, had some of the Hot Spiced Cider. It was excellent. Haven't had the courage to try the witch's brew yet, though. Don't want to be turned into a newt or anything!

Well, the snow managed to disappear from the forecast, and in its stead, we've got temps dipping well into the teens tonight. Now that's what I'm talking about! None of this 80ºF crud like yesterday!

Well, I suppose I must be on my way. Hope you all have a great time Trick-or-Treating!

[Mookie]

Welcome back!  Sounds like quite an ordeal for you!  You may have my hammock (I don't do this for just anyone!)  The view is good and if you want - I will get Mutt to gently rock it for you. 

[Tharmeni]

Good morning!   I am back after nearly 60 days off due to heart surgery (two sessions).  I'd better go easy on the eggs this morning.  So dish up some oatmeal and a glass of OJ and put me near a window so I can watch trains!

[Mookie]

[Datafever]

[cherokee woman]

Good Tuesday morning to all, on this Halloween morning.


Coffee and juice are freshly made, and we have some hot
apple cider available this morning, also.  And there is
some pretty good witches brew around also.

On the warmer bar you will find:

bewitched biscuits w/cyclops gravy, goblin turkey bacon,
deviled ham, eerie eggs, and for this morning, especially
for Matt, Frankenstein fries.

TRICK OR TREAT - WHO AM I?

.........I mowed my yard today with shorts on Ed....Not bad for 10-30.  Saw temp at 73.

[CANADIANPACIFIC2816]

At 9:30 this morning I headed out to run an errand, at was almost shirt-sleeve weather, with the temperature being in the upper 50's to low 60's, with just a light breeze. How quickly things can change though! I made a trip to my neighborhood grocery store for a dozen eggs, a pound of butter and a couple loaves of bread and an 18 ounce jar of peanut butter. I finished my shopping and got home within the last half hour. The temperature has dropped to 36 degees, and the wind is blowing out of the NW at 28 MPH, and gusting to 37 MPH. With the wind blowing, it actually feels like 23 degrees here.

I'll have a couple hot dogs and a couple burgers while I'm here in the Diner.

Wow...

Read 'em and weep...80 plus with a gentle breeze, solid sunshine zero clouds.

Will be the same for All Hallows Eve too...shorts and tee shirts for costumes?

Cops asked that everyone leave their pet gators at home for this years Trick or Treat...

[Willy2]

Will leave a note for Willy when he comes in:  Willy - hope play went ok.  I kept trying to feel better to make the trip, but it just wasn't working. 

But we already have graduation planned!  :)

Mookie

Mookie - the play went fabulously! I thought The Pajama Game wasn't really the best choice our drama director could have made, but it really shaped up to be my favorite of the three musicals I've been involved in since I started high school. Doing the lighting wasn't really very hard, either. I just had to be able to follow along really closely and be on the ball. I wish you could've come, but I know it was best to just stay home and get better.

Well, we were up into the mid 60s just two hours ago with light winds, now the cold front has plowed through and the winds are sustained at 30 mph and the temperature is in the upper 40s. That's fall in Nebraska, I guess.

Everyone have a good evening!
