The best time to visit San Francisco is fall or spring, it can be pretty unpleasant in the summer.

I've been in Palo Alto years ago, when I had a friend at Stanford. My son probably isn't going to get there this trip. He was visiting friends at Cal Davis, and is now staying with people near Berkeley. Later this week he will be in the LA area, visiting my cousins there.

He has loved San Francisco, I think. I always did, too. But I get what people are saying about its being too expensive to live out there now. My cousins, born and bred Californians, are feeling the pinch, too, I think, or at least their kids are. Some of them are having trouble finishing up college because classes they need to graduate have been cut or drastically reduced in section numbers (budgetary reasons).

I may have to look it up. Ok, I just did on iTunes, Steve Martin makes up for having Sarah Jessica Parker. lol

Internet is down here so I've been connecting wirelessly which means streaming the movie isn't a good idea for tonight.

I love the scene where the group gives their coffee orders to the waiter, the part where he drives to his girlfriends' house (next door) and the name of the resort; Pollo Del Mar!

I feel ya there Mike! but its nice to swap in the ole Zebco 33 for the 30-30 for a while

the Spirit store already had their store sign up a few days ago and the Dollar Tree has some Halloween stuff! I can't wait till all the back to school stuff is gone! LOL

man I wish a SPIRIT store or Halloween City would come to the Valley. all we have are a couple of dollar stores and Wal-Mart :/ which is why most of my décor is home made

Even though I am trying to not accept it the bug has latched on. I am going to drive by after work to see if they have the Spirit Halloween store sign up yet. A few nights ago the local haunted house at the furniture store was testing their strobe lighting. It's more of an expensive haunted house for an alright haunted house but I have been to better for sure. But it is still nice to see them getting started.

Today I am going to put up all my paintball gear for sale. I just do not use it enough to be able to play constantly. I instead want to put some of it in the bank and I was able to talk my parents into letting me buy a Halloween mask that I would use over and over each year especially if I work haunted houses. I was hoping to get a nice Michael Myers mask but I am not sure what my favorite one is. I love the classic mask from Halloween by John Carpenter but I also love the Buried Series ones or the Dream Sequence from Halloween and Halloween 2 by Rob Zombie. What would you pick?

Adrian, be proud. Halloween was so much better before all these mass-produced decorations. Doesn't stop me from walking through the Spirit stores drooling like Egor in a brain market though.

me too! all the stuff I want that they have is too expensive and what I can afford is <deleted>

It is truly hard to explain. I think of it as a spirit. One that takes over me. You can see it in the wind and in the trees. You just have to let it take over and enjoy the ride. The best way I can describe it is this: When viewing Halloween 2 (2009) you see Michael Myers walking through a corn field wearing a hood heading towards Haddonfield. That is how I describe it.

Mike, our local producers have already brought out the pumkin crates i'm so excited! I wish we would've taken pictures of the watermelon we carved this summer
