I wonder why Mississippians are so fat
 

Could it be because they can't even bother to walk from house to house trick-or-treating? I can't tell you how many parents were driving their kids house to house in my neighborhood tonight. Is it really too much to walk a block or two? Do people do this in Utah, Colorado or any of those other skinny states?

People do it here, but we're one of the fattest states.

Is this thread just another attempt to lure Mike back?

That would only work if Mike were lurking. He's not even reading anymore.

Thanks again for driving me around tonight.

There have been a few cars, but not many. Most of the folks were walking with their kids around the neighborhood tonight.

same here. And I figure the ones in cars are poachers from other neighborhoods.

Don't forget y'all's passion for deep fat frying. Delicious deep fat frying, I might add.

Yep.

I dropped my oldest boy off in a friend's neighborhood so they could do their thing there and then the came back this way to do it in this area.

I don't know about Jackson, but the buffets on the casinos in Vicksburg haven't helped matters at all.
