For at least 5 years, we have had exactly ZERO goblins come to the door. It isn't that we live in an adult neighborhood- we just got new neighbors with 4 boys under about 9, and NOBODY! I guess people take their kids to organized 'trunk-or-treat' gatherings in well lighted parking lots or other places- private parties and the like.
Back 'in the day', I grew up as a 'free range' kid. I went out before dark and stayed out intil the last porch light was dark. This must have affected me deeply: I rang a bell and an old woman answered and said she had no candy, but to wait. She brought a can of Chili-con-Carne. I've felt awful ever since. She didn't know me, but I delivered her newspaper, so I didn't charge her for close to a year.
Anybody want some Skittles?
