Hallowe’en Memory

When we go trick-or-treating, we almost always come across a flaming roadblock on the drive home, sometimes forcing us to take a detour. Here is N in front of one of those roadblocks in 2002. We thought he looked like Harry Potter.

    Flaming roadblocks common? Is that something like a Canadian Halloween tradition? *blush* I’m embarrassed even asking that. . .

    You mean they don’t do this everywhere? :-D I wouldn’t call it “Canadian”, but it is “normal” and “traditional” where I live. LOL The police search during the days before Hallowe’en for suspicious piles of tires. On the morning after, we always see burned, damaged road in a few places.

    For what it is worth, here is my opinion! It is just plain “stupid” and it has been passing on down for generations! Redneck at its ultimate, I guess!
    Having said that, I do remember in my “days of youth” hanging out at some big road fires. Everyone ran like the dickens when the police arrived! LOL Still - it’s STUPID!

    Ah, thanks for explaining! I have never experienced something like that.
