Many communities across the United States have their own way of celebrating the night before Halloween. Detroit Michigan is somewhat unique in the destructive “Devils Night.” Allegedly a tradition going back to the 1800’s it perhaps reached it’s peak in 1984 when the Tigers won the World Series. I am far too young to remember any of that but have heard there were between 300-500 fires set. By 1992 I was old enough to venture out with friends. We didn’t have anything in mind but guess we thought it was cool or something. Somehow my Dad got wind of it and went out looking for us. He found us down the street, asked us “what do you dumbshits think you’re doing?” made us get in the car, and took us back home. It was a Friday, so we stayed up all night watching MTV, playing videogames, and looking at my friend’s brothers Playboy and Penthouse collection.

We lived in the suburbs so the worst that ever happened was our mailbox got blown up once and a rock was thrown through one of our windows scaring my Mom. My Dad and I went out looking for whoever did it but no luck. Indiana has been quite tame by comparison. The worst I’ve ever seen down here are “TP’d” trees…

Happy Halloween!

LOL yeah suburban kids were a little different than inner city kids and bot were different than rural kids. I grew up rural and we always hit the most "sinister graveyards" on Halloween night to get high in. One of my great aunt's was even buried in one and it was down a road called China Grove in Central Arkansas if you look it up. It is kind of a triangulation between Alexander, Benton and Sardis town wise.

From "Newsweek" 11/17/2017:

The U.S. Navy was forced to apologize on Wednesday after one of its pilots pulled a stunt involving phallic imagery.

Indeed, it seems a member of the U.S. military drew a penis in the sky. One might say this pilot was a little too cocky.

Officials from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in Washington state sent a statement to KREM 2 News admitting one of their aircraft was used to create the sexually charged sky art after a local mother reached out to the news station to complain. The mother was reportedly worried the imagery could have a negative impact on her children.

(Maybe he just wanted to be "Top Gun." )

Courtesy of “NASA.gov”:

“New data reveal the interstellar interloper to be a rocky, cigar-shaped object with a somewhat reddish hue. The asteroid, named Oumuamua by its discoverers, is up to one-quarter mile (400 meters) long and highly-elongated—perhaps 10 times as long as it is wide. That aspect ratio is greater than that of any asteroid or comet observed in our solar system to date. Its elongated shape is quite surprising, and unlike asteroids seen in our solar system…

The observations and analyses were funded in part by NASA and appear in the Nov. 20 issue of the journal Nature. They suggest this unusual object had been wandering through the Milky Way, unattached to any star system, for hundreds of millions of years…”

After seeing the picture below, my first thought was of course about the possibility of life on other planets. Who knew “ET” was so well-endowed?
