    Always happy to have you along for the trip! I rather liked that story with the Octagon House, too. I just hoped Mr. Tesla was a forgiving ghost when I added him to that one!

    Thank you. Halloween has always been fun for me. This year I went out trick-or-treating as a frazzled writer lacking sleep and drinking too much coffee. My neighbors thought I was a stray St. Bernard and called the dogcatcher. I would have spent the night in the pound, save for the fact that I can outrun any guy with a net that ever walked this earth.

    I think the question of phone service comes up at some point in the tale.

    Goggle Earth, maybe. Google Earth, not a chance!

    Hmm. Maybe I'd better ASK Mildred what she does with her time?

    Not only that, but if the bill collectors came after you, you just move the house to another state and let them try to find you all over again!

    I kinda hope so, or I wasted my time on this one!

    If it was really easy, it wouldn't be as much fun!

    If you had that house, at least there would be no phone bills!

    Wonderful to hear from you! A new addition to JM would be welcome. I'd have to go back and review the last entry in Tales, or be lost. But I can deal with that! I have to admit I have not heard anyone use 'keen' in a LONG time! It's so much kinder and gentler than the slang people use today! 😄
  13. There were no power lines or poles around back, either. The forest grew almost up to the back of the house, but had seemed to falter several feet away, almost as if it was afraid to come any closer. There was no landscaping here, either - nothing to indicate that the house had reached an accommodation with the rural property it now inhabited. And, the limbs of the larger trees near the home were bent at odd angles, again seeming to have been forced to get out of the way of the house. The ga

    I'd tell ya, but then I'd have to turn you into a pumpkin!

    Hi, CG! Hopefully, your curiosity will get to the bottom of things here in short order!

    They were not identical, so we'll consider it a clarification!

    Well, it's more like she just left the bank with a bag of coins no one saw her take!

    Yes, but Rick and Charlie are on the flip side of the skwish coin, suggesting that skwish is bipolar in spectrum, in and of itself. Mildred's itch is a sort of balancing act to skwish, a sort of counter-force, so related but...different.

    Framework?? Um...I KNEW I was forgetting something!

    Mildred said that you were pretty cool, too!

    Halloween has mystery, and some spookiness, and some fun. But true malevolence at Halloween is reserved for Hollywood movies with guys in hockey masks wielding axes!

    They didn't want to have to lie about Browbeat to Annie.
  24. The big GMC Yukon had barely come to a halt at the base of the steps leading up to the veranda of Annie Beecher's octagon house before the right-hand side of the double front doors opened, and Moped came charging down the steps to bark at them. Rick had his window down, and immediately turned to smile at her. "Hi Moped! Hi, sweetie!" Realizing it was someone she knew and not some bold invader, the dog immediately sat back on her haunches, her tail sounding a rhythmic drumbeat against t
