Are we the only people in Eldorado to have Halloween/Day of the Dead decorations? The ghoulish extravaganza in Los Angeles is - as you know - in full, inventive force. And here - nothing. Or rather, we now have three large pumpkins, and four Mexican-style corrugated cardboard cats. I saw these four cats - each one different - sitting on a lawn on Griffith Park Road back in LA, and of course immediately had to source them, and they look very fine - two in front of the house, two behind. But - are we alone in this? There are two rather sad bedraggled purple ghouls hanging in the Eldorado Supermarket, to be sure, but that's about it. (I should say, hastily, that it's not that we want youngsters turning up Trick or Treating - they would go away empty-handed, or clutching small fistfuls of Sprouted Quinoa Granola, or stale almonds, or whatever else we could find in the kitchen closets. But it's a strange regional difference ...)
