Hello Pattie, this is a good reason not to go out for Halloween. I am hoping that things are getting better there. Have a nice day my friend. Hugs.

Awe, Darlene! You are so sweet. Califonia is a huge state. Things are not getting better at the Southern or Northern ends. However Central California, yes, kids will be out. I will do my best to have a great Octber Day! You, as well, my friend, Panagiota xxx

You ably project a situation which has pushed Halloween into the background, Panagiota. And now there is also an extreme red flag warning! Young children don't realize how dangerous some situations can be. ~ Regards // paul

Paul, as I explained to Tom. You can't send kids out to dark, streets, dark houses and as you said with red fag warnings. It's depressing to think of the many Californians living in the dark for weeks. And it is cold in Northern CA... Thanks, PR

Sadly many kids won't be out this year Panagiota. Wish the rain would come for them. Tom.
