Hallow-een

General
I've spotted this many times before down on the planet. People dressing up in costumes, decorating their houses, and all the short ones, for the most part, going to other homes, knocking, and excepting a "treat" in exchange for...looking good in a costume.
When I first looked at this, I had no idea what was going on at first. It was a late night, I trudged through the ship, took a look at the latest transmit images, and then was shocked to see a lot of these humans have turned into a whole bunch of different things, from changing into a variety of monsters, or drastically changing professions (when did that lawyer guy get a job as a pirate??), or seeing a bunch (and I do mean BUNCH) of the guys and gals I've seen in films wandering around, and me wondering why "Based on a True Story" wasn't tagged on to a lot of these works of "fiction".
I couldn't help but keep watching at all this cool stuff that was plotted all over the place. I mean seriously, this Hallow-een is a cool holiday.
Then when I discovered these were mostly kids, I saw them go up to other people's houses. I was expecting the authorities or a bat-wielding resident to show up and deliver some justice to invasion of privacy, especially when these kids held up bags, for who knows what.
But then I saw it. Candy. These kids walk up in these costumes, say the code words "Trick of Treat" (wonder if anybody's selected the former of those choices) and people dump candy in the bags they present. Then the kids go to the next one, then the next one, and before you know it these guys are hocked up on sugar (nobody note my "introduction" to Pepsi Next, NOBODY), unless their parents are those "responsible" ones.
Weird costumes aside, I've dug the Halloween seen. I love looking at all this creepy weird stuff, and to see horror stuff on my screen. I think I get it though.
Halloween is a day when you don't have to worry about being yourself. You can dress up as who you'd like to be, and you'd want to be, and get "in-character" for a day that disregards public snickering on the other days when your black eye shadow or false mustache are frowned upon. A day to be anything but yourself, which may be stressful for most people these days as I expect. So it's a nice breather to have a day to be who you want, party down, get a scare, get candy, and to just plain have fun!
A transmission is being worked on that involves a sorta scare I'd gotten in the past in commemoration of this cool holiday. And who knows, maybe some other things if I find the time too.
Now I'm off to play horror vid-games. And thanks to Hallow-een I have an excuse for ALMA in case I need a....uhh....nevermind.
