It’s about this time of the year that people look forward to getting scared. Odds are, there is a haunted house or two in your town right now, getting folks in the mood for the Halloween. Carnivals get in the act too, as most seem to have a ride that tries to scare you just a bit. For the kids, it’s a good thing, but I don’t need a haunted house or carnival to scare me anymore. I just look at the bill at the gas pump.
