Friday Five

Yeah, I skipped last week, so what?

From the home office in Boise Idaho, the Friday Five:

1. What is your favorite scary movie? Scary movies are bad.
2. What is your favorite Halloween treat? Candy. All candy.
3. Do you dress up for Halloween? If so, describe your best Halloween costume. No, so N/A.
4. Do you enjoy going to haunted houses or other spooky events? Sure.
5. Will you dress up for Halloween this year? Not bloody likely.

But it's a dry chill

38 degrees according to the big thermometer outside the funeral home this morning. Wasn't it like 90 just a couple weeks ago? Gotta love the desert...

Firefighter porn?

This is a great article on the growing disparity between the very rich and the more plebeian masses.

Pretty good reading, if a bit long.
