Are you scared? If I told you that Americans spend a whopping $9 billion on all things related to Halloween, would it cause you to shake in terror?
It’s all gone. Disappeared into the evil black hole of cyber space, where “data” may enter, but never leave.
It was a messy brawl. Starting out with name-calling, gut punches and plenty of lies. Okay, unvalidated, unverified “facts.”

I am living with a shining example of determination, strength and courage. She is my resident dove, whom I have named Wilma.
