Today might be Halloween, yesterday we got word our neighborhood would be doing trick or treat tonight. Apparently there is a highschool football game tomorrow and there isn’t enough police to be at our neighborhood and the game. I had mentioned before that people bus in to trick or treat here and apparently a lot of people bring their golf carts. We’ll see what actually happens, changing the date the last week from the actual date on a Friday to an arbitrary date on a work day seems like a bad idea. We live here and didn’t get a memo, my queen heard it at work, no one told me personally. That leaves the question if the bus drivers are available today, maybe they’re sharing with the high school. This also touches on another annoyance I’ve had my whole life, towns and cities revolving around sport. In my opinion these positions are celebrated above all else and that creates a ceiling for the citizens who grow up thinking that’s the top. Sports have a lot to offer kids in developing physically and mentally. For 99% of athletes, serious competition is finished before they start adult life. I’d argue the professional athletes don’t live adult lives like washing their clothes and cooking their food, but that’s another topic. Kids and adults need to be championing behavior and people that want society to grow towards. Treating high school football as the biggest event growing up will leave kids confused as to what they should be after high school.
