If you are driving this night watch the overpasses. This night can really be a pain for people liking to throw pumpkins off of the bridges. I know Bob doesn't worry about one being dropped on us but I sure do. My hopes are if you are aware that this could happen and are watching I am hoping you can control the truck and come to a stop if one is dropped.

This is one holiday where I wish we where at home handing out candy! Halloween is so much fun.

Some of them drop rocks and concrete chunks. I'd like to see them eliminated from the gene pool but doubt that's possible. Caution is the operative word.

Leo your idea is the best but I doubt if that is going to happen. Just hope everyone driving the roads the next few nights will be safe.

One Halloween night, we were driving through Queens (New York City) after making an 8:30 p.m. lift gate delivery on the sidewalk. A loud bang on the side of the truck startled us half to death. A heart-stopped instant later, we figured out someone had thrown an egg that hit the passenger window. I kept driving until we got to a place where I could clean the window. Soon after, we were on out way out of the city and on our way to Bordentown. To ##### with Halloween in New York City, we decided on the spot. If we never drive another Halloween night again, anywhere, that will be fine with us. Parked safely away from demons, unfettered kids, and jazzed up adults is the better way to be.

The night before Halloween a couple years ago I was passing thru suburbs of Detroit and my truck was hit by a thrown rock. Like a blur I saw two small kids,probably not 12 years old, run away from shoulder of road and back into bushes. My heart was racing for 30 minutes I guess. The farther north I go of the Ohio River, the less hospitable it seems sometimes. Yet, Canada has been polite and friendly.

Our Haloween plans are now made. We will be sitting safely in an RV park, fending off the evil spirits from there.

It wasn't Halloween but right after I bought my truck, I was coming
thru Atlanta and 2 teenagers were on the bridge on I-85 throwing
rocks and hit the hood of my truck.. Scared the crap out of me.
