Message of the Day – A Blow-Up Toy

November 07, 2007 By: Cal Skinner Category: Blow Up Toy, Halloween, Message of the Day

This is a deflated balloon toy for Halloween.

A friend has an inexplicable attraction for inflatable toys.

It doesn’t matter whether they are used in hotel pools or for the yard.

This Halloween there was an inflated funeral coach in the front yard.

I thought kids were playing in as they would in a moon walk.

But, no.

The figure moving was a “man” rising from his coffin.

Halloween was over when this picture was taken.

Message of the Day – A Superhero

November 06, 2007 By: Cal Skinner Category: Captain America, Halloween, South Elementary School

Captain America!

He showed up at Crystal Lake’s South Elementary School on Halloween, of all days.

He marched around the school with all the kids.

I got this photograph in the hall.

I think he was on the way to a fourth grade class.

McHenry County Blog has written of Captain America before.

Could this masked man bear some relationship to the man who had Captain America tattooed on his leg in living color?

Or maybe, the message is that some guys are just not going to let the kids have all the fun.
