Halloween 2025! Yes, I made a Bella-O-Lantern! Pizza of choice this year was Pizza Hut pan crust with sweet marinara sauce and several toppings. We underbought on the candy and actually ran out this year! We didn't expect many trick-or-treaters because Consumers Energy and some other crew have been working on the gas line and the sewers and leaving their "Road Closed To Thru Traffic" signs up after they leave but the trick-or-treaters were not deterred! Movies of choice: Curse Of Frankenstein, Horror Of Dracula, The Haunting, The Fog, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre & Teen Wolf.

Lukas is very nice to me. I once saw Lukas take an elderly man's shopping cart to the cart park for him. Lukas is THAT nice. Lukas loves Halloween and is a special makeup effects artist. Winning, or placing highly, in The Face Of Halloween contest would make a tremendous difference in my friend's life. If any of you fellow Horror & Halloween lovers would consider voting for Lukas I would greatly appreciate it. Voting once a day is free. If you choose to send additional votes Lukas' way it will benefit a charity.

@whitbied They'd have gotten away with it if it weren't for that darn Scoob!! Seven scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts making him the first MLB pitcher to get to 200 strikeouts for the second consecutive season. He also tied Hal Newhouser, who there is a statue of at Comerica Park, for 3rd all-time most double digit strikeout starts by a Tigers pitcher in their 120+ years history!

Plankton & Spongebob's cover of "I Believe In Joe Hendry". I personally lose it every time Plankton shouts, "Wave your hands-".

@whitbied the Best pitcher in MLB right now plays for Detroit and his nickname is Skub because his full name is Tarik Skubal and he recently took to the mound sporting these shoes that he'd commissioned.
