Walking Log 31 October 2008

I added yesterday’s trip to the grocery store to today’s totals so I wouldn’t have to make a separate post for that.  Today was another beautiful fall day.  Great weather for walking.  Tomorrow should be nice weather for a walk; however, I’m not sure if there will be a large number of people on the trail training for the marathon because it’s Saturday.  Do I dare brave the crowds of runners?  I guess I’ll decide that in the morning.

Today is Halloween.  I bought some candy in case there were a few trick-or-treaters.  I sampled some of the Almond Joys and M&Ms I’d bought.  All I can say is, “What on earth have they done to the chocolate bars we loved as kids?”  Bleck.  It all has a greasy taste to me and it melts very easily making me think that the recipe has been changed somehow.  It’s definitely not the chocolate of my youth. . .    I didn’t see one trick-or-treater either.  Now the question is what to do with the stuff that’s left?
