Belleville

The other day, as I was watching my wife carry in a metric ton or two of Halloween candy from the garage, I happened upon an article that was talking about the hard line being drawn on Halloween trick-or-treaters by the city of Roanoke, Virginia.

The unfortunate Belleville-area man avoided the dog, but was injured by an overnight stay in the tree.

I usually think of pirate movies when I see someone with a parrot on their shoulder--not a guy stuck in an Illinois mud pit.
