tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:32,936 Points:2,342,585 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: Nov 1, 2012 10:58:07 AM Ignore tomok Report Abuse Be extra cautious tonight for Trick-or-Treaters! Good driving tips, NO texting and be cautious at all times – driving or not! Make sure to use sidewalks when available, cross the streets at the proper areas and LOOK Both Ways before crossing! NO Trick-or-Treating on the highways or with the NHTSA. ALL THE TRICK AND TREATERS WENT HOME! No more are around here anymore. Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle, Produce and ‘Drive’ vehicles with high MPG, are very safe, reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. The price of fuel at the pump is too high! XII/XXII/MMXII!
