I did not get home until after the time cutoff in the town.

I have no idea how many, but my 200 piece bag was almost empty.

        also, "you can only T-or-T within two blocks of your home." Don't even think about walking *3* blocks over. -- nm - Candie Apple Nov 1, 09:40 9

        when I was young, we would wander around for 5 hours. - ghouly Nov 1, 09:43 4
        
        Yeah we'd do the entire town. Several hours worth. -- nm - iSpam Nov 1, 09:47 1
        
        I would have to stop home to empty the bag several times. - ghouly Nov 1, 09:49
        
        Right, we'd have the run of the neighborhood. -- nm - znufrii Nov 1, 09:46
        
        right? me too. that was fun. -- nm - Candie Apple Nov 1, 09:43
        
        o.m.g. -- nm - Candie Apple Nov 1, 09:37
        
        mostly true. - ghouly Nov 1, 09:34
        
        And a lot of younger kids can't go because their parents aren't home in time -- nm - Guigue Nov 1, 09:32

        it is pretty dark here at 6:30 this time of year. -- nm - ghouly Nov 1, 09:35 1
        
        yeah, at 6:30, when it's ending. not at 4. -- nm - Candie Apple Nov 1, 09:35
- we know we get the teenagers after 8 pm - and that's fine. We closed down shop at 9 pm -- nm - Epiphany Nov 1, 09:27
