 *** Quoting August Abolins from a message to Mike Powell ***

 AA> I did not realize that Halloween celeration was spotty over the
 AA> globe.

When I was a kid we'd do tick-or-treating in my neighbourhood all dressed up 
in our costumes.

One year our immediate next door neighbours moved away and a couple from 
Europe moved in (I really don't know where from), we knocked on their door 
and yelled "Trick or Treat!" and they looked so confused.  We (my sister & I) 
explained how it worked and they gave us something sweet from their kitchen 
and we went on our way.  The next year they opened the door, yelled "We're 
not participating this year!" and slammed the door in our faces.
