Since we&#8217;re located on a dirt road in a semi-rural area with no street lighting and the potential for nocturnal critters like Javelina and Coyotes to be present, we get exactly <strong>zero<\/strong> trick-or-treaters. So, the decorations are for us alone.<\/p>\n<p>The (clickable) image above came from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bing.com\/images\/create#\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bing&reg; AI Image Generator<\/a> with the Halloween lettering overlaid with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irfanview.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Irfanview&trade;<\/a>. I suggested that the AI generate an image that was &#8220;dark and sinister,&#8221; and this was the result. I assume it figured out that Halloween was nigh and this seemed appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>So, for all who celebrate &#8220;All Hallows Eve,&#8221; we wish you a happy time of it. And watch your six.
