This is one of  those Halloween Day where we get to celebrated for the whole weekend plus one day more. On Friday many schools had their Halloween or “Harvest” Day celebration. Some Trick or Treaters were out gathering treats on Friday evening, instead of Monday October 31st is the official Halloween day.

Many community organizations and church groups will have their Halloween or Harvest party either Friday, or Saturday or Sunday evening. Still a few of the more traditionalist will have it on Monday. Many people I have talked with have told me a weekend evening is better on parents, and children over having the activity on a school night.

Over the past several years we have gotten away from giving out homemade treats, because of a sick few individual who have spoil a great time for everyone else. It is a sad commentary on our society where caramel dipped apples and home homemade cookies can not be accepted from our neighbors, for fear of them being laced with something what would harm our children. We have had to turn to only allowing our children to accept factory sealed bagged candy.

The VW Bug or the Volkswagen Beetle has long been a symbol of German engineering. In the United States it a was one of the first gas saving commuter cars.

Did you know that the Beetle got its’ start back in the 1938! The revolutionary design of air cooled rear engine design was a head turner. Then you add fuel economy along enough pep to drive the fast speed of the German Autobahn made it a instant success.
