Halloween Time in Washington and North Dakota


Leaving Everett, Washington on October 11, 2008 I saw this amusement park south of Tacoma, Washington and I had to take this picture. Holy crap - Thank God spiders don't come in this size in actual life.

In Fargo, North Dakota at the Prairie Rose Inn and Convention Center where we stayed the night on October 30, 2008, a costume party was going on.

These two young men arrived in costume and I had to talk to them. These guys are only two of a gang of four who have won the last five costume contests and were hoping to win this contest. These guys begin brainstorming in August, come up with an idea and work on their ideas and get them designed and created in time for the contest. This year they decided to be Tetris game pieces. Their costumes are made from beer cartons, paper, and electric tape. No, they are not joined together, they just "hook up" to show what they are. Ingenious.
