When I was younger I was adamantly aware of the fact that the witch next door would often shape-shift and appear as her tabby cat to spy on us kids. I knew without a doubt that the ghost of an old soldier lived in my house on Van Houten street, and that aliens were absolutely watching us ALL OF THE TIME. I'd like to say that much has changed, but it has not. The deer who frequents my yard has been missing for a couple of days now and I'm almost confident that Bigfoot is behind it. I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, take in the fact that over 50% of Americans believe in ghosts and hang a horseshoe on your door (upside down of course).

Some big stuff happened this week in history. If you have an inclination to travel back in time, take these 5 tips with you:
TIP: Avoid San Francisco on October 17, 1989. Maybe avoid 1989 altogether, but definitely steer clear of San Francisco. It's a bit shaky.
TIP: Open up the newspaper on October 18, 1896 and meet America's first ever comic strip. They call him the "The Yellow Kid".
TIP: Stay out of England!
TIP: Head over to Germany in 1844 and greet the new arrival in the world of post-modern thought. Happy birth day Friedrich Nietzsche.
TIP: Celebrate the Sweetest Day! On October 19,1922 Herbert Birch Kingston started giving gifts to the poor, sick, and anyone who needed a smile.
