My son was very mad, though. He already had Thursday & Friday off from school for parent/teacher conferences, which is when the snow hit. He wanted the snow to fall on actual school days so he could have a few "snow days," lol. By the following Monday I had my motorcycle out again. Hi Gary,

Unless they are perched on the pillion, they will never keep up! Hope they have some awesome zoom lenses, eh? Good luck on the novel. You'll need it...

For all we know, the goateed, beetle browed doppel-Gary might only intend to show you how to make the greatest tuna salad in the known universe. But miscommunications happen, and it never hurts to be prepared and have a couple film students standing by. You know, just in case. :D Ok, I gotta start directing my creativity towards a certain novel now... No, no, not advocating, just preparing for contingencies.

Ring of Death? Whoa there, chief! You're extrapolatin' way beyond the event horizon here. We haven't even determined yet if he is from this planet/dimension, and if his intentions are friendly or hostile. You're already advocatin' the Nookyuler Option! Time to switch to decaff? ;^) Ride well, =gc= AZ Lucky: Chain fight? Ring of Death? Whoa there, chief! You’re extrapolatin’ way beyond the event horizon here.

I rode past a couple houses (near mine) with some impressive displays, too. It's too bad no one got to enjoy them except for me and the people who set them up. Regarding your doppelganger - should it be necessary for you and Bizarro Gary to settle things with a chain fight in the Ring of Death, you'll have the good taste to bring a videographer, right?

One request on your blog, though - change the settings so people who don't have a Google or blogspot account can comment? Thanks. Eric: So, what did you do for Halloween up in Chisholm? Buster: There are some definite similarities. If only his scooter was red... Steve: Stop it, you're scaring me. ScooterGuru: Took a bat' in your bat'room? Ugh... I know. Scooter Induced Smuggishness! (Smugliness?) I know exactly what you mean. I experience it every time Scarlet and I do a Ronco in traffic; "It slices, it dices..." -Sahweeeet! Betty: You're in Colorado, right? Didn't you folks just get hammered with a bunch of snow? I guess I should go catch up on your blog.... Ride well, =gc= DaveT: That’s an interesting theory.

The top one is very cool. My husband took our son out. They came back at one point so he too could stash his loot and get more, lol. Then off they went again. He declared it was the best halloween ever. We had a very cold Halloween here, so I didn't get as many trick or treaters as last year. Hmmm...doppelgänger or not? Time will tell.

Then it rode home with me and proceeded to drag me all over our neighborhood, flirting with every female it encountered, young or old, and scoring lots of candy. It then dragged me home, ate a few pieces of candy, took a bath in our bathroom, went into our son's bedroom and fell promptly to sleep on his bed. Scary. I later went to McDonald's for some grub for Longsuffering Wife, who stayed home to pass-out candy. I couldn't help but feel smug, when I could thread through the gridlock in the parking lot leaving everybody else to wait-it-out.

I can't help but think when I see the pictures of Emily on the scooter that you are going to be dishing out more cash for a two-wheeled ride for her so that the whole family will be on two wheels. Doppelgangers..... or worse. An unknown twin. Or maybe the Corps cloned you without your knowledge.... steve Sounds like a cool Halloween.
