I put up about three decorations, which is enough for me. Are you guys big Halloween decorators?

We have one of those light projectors so we can show bats on our garage. Some years we carve pumpkins.
I refuse to decorate for any holiday. I get forced to help put crap up for Christmas, but I complain while doing it.
One nice thing of being a grumpy old bachelor is the no decorations credo gets no pushback.
The wife likes to decorate for the holidays, but we don't go overboard. A few ghosts hanging here and there, but we always carve pumpkins to put out on Halloween. After 24 years, we're kind of famous for our Jack-O-Lantern skills.
It seems very strange not writing a game log this week. Falvey and Levine better have a productive damn winter.
to be fair, you're more than welcome to write today's (playoff) game log.
I love seeing holiday decorations, but I hate putting them up. I do a few things for Christmas because I feel like I have to, but that's it.
Sano involved in an incident with police, leaving an officer with a broken leg. Only preliminary reports from the Dominican Republic, but yikes.
Ugh. He's gone from all star on the rise to complete freaking disaster in pretty impressive time.
I put out about five or six things that just go on the lawn like tombstones. Super simple.
I live with two very enthusiastic Halloween decorators. I let them pick out a couple new, cheap-ish items every year. My least favorite is the severed arm (which gets positioned beneath a gravestone).
Word to the Proprietors (particularly Sean or anyone with author privs and some html skillz):
I am having a devil of a time getting the Appetite post to format so that the images don't overlap the text. Halp, pleez!
Apparently, I do not understand the appropriate use of the CSS inline property "float:blah" in relation to text.
It's not the float but the rotation that is causing the overlap. I uploaded a new version with the correct orientation.
Gaah. Thanks.
ok, I don't get it. The style="transform:rotate(90)" attribute is still there. How did you get them to work while leaving that in? Is that just ignored?
...ah. You just replaced the second photo. I re-uploaded the first, edited it to restore its proper orientation, and eliminated the transform attribute/property/whatever you call that. Now it rescales and floats properly.
apparently, the whole rotation thing is hard for html to deal with. When I resized the page, it would overlap with text. Now it doesn't.
My guess is layout is done before the transform. With the first image on the right, there was no text above or below for me so it still looked fine. That wasn't true for the second image so I only fixed that one.
I don't decorate much anymore -- used to have some nicely carved pumpkins, etc. Now days about the most we do is a couple hastily carved jack-o-lanterns on the porch and a chalk outline with some ketchup blood on the driveway.

Looks like that training program is off to a good start.
