What’s Up in the Neighborhood, October 25 2025

It’s the last weekend of October, and next week we move leave Daylight Saving Time. I think they schedule the time change after Halloween so that all the little door-to-door costumed candy-beggars have enough daylight to get a full haul of fun sized Snickers and M&M’s.

Trust me, kids. Stop by my house, and you’re getting Necco Wafers. And if you don’t know what Necco Wafers are, go ask your grandfather. 😀

But today isn’t Halloween, instead today is the day we go through the blog posts on my personal blogroll and share the good stuff. So let’s get at it, shall we?
