Here’s what Missourians do when tornado sirens are blasting in the middle of the night.  Two people in a row said, “What sirens?  I slept through it!”  Midwesterners.

Halloween seems to be a really big deal here, at least where Avdi lives.  Even I got into the spirit(s) of it.  Only, it was a little sad for us this year, with one family member absent, temporarily detained in a facility through no fault of anyone’s.  But they’re getting out!  Then we’ll celebrate.

Once again, here I am wide awake in the wee hours.  It seems to be a trend.  Someone’s got to keep the fires burning.
