Meanwhile, it's sunny and 80F /27C this Halloween afternoon. Reconsider those bulky or furry costumes, kids. This afternoon our neighbors will stand at a foldout table and drink & snack while the local kids (that haven't aged out of the blessed mystery of all hallows eve) will gather absurd amounts of candy on a scavenger hunt assembled by Mrs Murphy. Bags of candy strewn all over the leaf-covered front yards as if Beelzebub had his own interpretation of Easter egg hunts.

Myk Murphy:
All the neighbors donate to it, so the candy haul is substantial. Each kid has his own sticker so you don't end up taking a younger kid's stuff. There's a new thing where kids trick or treat at each popped SUV hatchback in a parking lot. Seems efficient but is that the spirit of Halloween? Maybe there's a version of it for Detroit wherein the kids get to light a chosen vehicle on fire. Maybe the SUV with the shittiest candy on offer?
