Trick or Treat? No shows!!

Today is Halloween and, like what has happened the past few years, no kids showed up to receive any of the couple dozen bags of treats we had ready for them.

What gives?

It wasn't the weather (calm, clear evening with no rain).
It wasn't that we had the lights off in the house or out front.
It wasn't that we weren't home.

So what was it?

Wethinks it is that the street we live on is (or appears to be) Halloween-unfriendly.  Plus, our street is at the top of a long street (Apapane) that is a long hill that kids (and their parents who accompany them) are unwilling to tackle to get treats.  I also think the no-shows are also a result of not having (m)any young kids living on our street.  Maybe it's also because not many kids trick-or-treat nowadays. 

Whatever the case, now we have a bunch of candy to give away, consume, whatever.

We'll try again next year.
