Look at me still talking when there's science to do...

I had a pretty strange realization on Halloween this year. I asked my mom whether there were many trick or treaters, and she said there hadn't been many for several years. I remember when I was younger there would be an unending flood until fairly late at night, so this was surprising. She pointed out that all of the children from our neighborhood have grown up and moved away. In a sense, our neighborhood has "out-grown" Halloween, which is really sad.

My grandparents lived in Leawood, and I always thought it was strange that there wasn't anyone for miles around that was under like 60 years old. I guess now I know how that happens. It's kind of strange, though, that when we moved here everyone had kids around the same age. I guess it must be that we moved shortly after development ended, so it was still a young neighborhood.

So, nothing really came out of me talking to my TA about my worthless lab group. She said she wanted to wait and see how things would play out this week. This tells me that nothing is going to happen, because there's only two more labs left. I guess I'll just have to deal with it.

Also, I just recently realized that Emacs has a spellcheck mode, which is completely awesome. I write these posts server-side with Emacs, and now I won't have to spend so much time being crazy about whether I'm spelling things correctly.
