A very quiet Halloween — Page 2

All was quiet until this evening when sometime during the 19th to 20th hour the booming sound of fireworks. They would not stop and sounded more like a war and shooting in the streets.

After nearly 30 years in NYC I yet recall fireworks on Nov 1st! All Soul's Day?

You know, prunes are a very healthy snack food!
