Halloween (postponed)

So it's our favorite day of the year, but things have been crazy, crazy, crazy.  The storm that blew through has caused a lot of damage.  We are fine, and in fact never lost power, but our friends have not fared so well.  Just one block up the hill from us, all our wonderful friends have been without power since Saturday night, and may continue so til Wednesday or Thursday...we just don't know.  Lowell has postponed Trick or Treat, as have most of the towns in the area.  The numbers are bad (as per the Lowell Sun):


National Grid was reporting an estimated 500,000 electrical customers across the state were still without power as of noon Monday. Just in Middlesex County, more than 88,000 National Grid customers were without power.
Dunstable police report that the town is mostly in the dark and could be without power for four days.
Billerica police report that 70 percent of the town is without power and could be for another two or more days.


We're very happy to be safe and warm and fully electrified. More updates when we have them.  Hope you're all safe and warm!
