BeetleJuice Runs the KRBC Studio Cameras

The KRBC crew is like one big, for the most part "happy" family. We spend a lot of time together, perhaps more time than with our biological ones.

Anyways, with Halloween right around the corner today was the station's designated day to dress up in costume. Most of us on-air people couldn't exactly get decked out in the Halloween spirit, but we lived vicariously through our co-workers.

KRBC production is made up of a great group of people. Tonight, as you can see in this picture, Beetlejuice was in charge of running our cameras during the newscasts. Tell me, looking at him doesn't make it difficult to focus on the news. Creative costume, isn't it? As you can see the two ladies pictured with Stephanie Harris and I were also dressed up for the occasion. As for Steph and I...we're letting our reputation with Wayne and Garth of Wayne's World live on.

Happy Halloween!

Goodbye Trick-or-Treating?

Okay, it hasn't been too long since I was going door-to-door trick-or-treating, but boy over the years, the Halloween activity has changed. I know that Abilene and surrounding Big Country towns host trunk-or-treat events for kids to dress up and get candy. However, do many Big Country residents still go door knocking with their kiddos, collecting candy from their neighbors?

Last year, I had very few people ring my door bell which was kind of a bummer, since I love to see all the fun and unique costumes. I like to live vicariously through them, since I am too old to go trick-or-treating, myself.

I am curious to hear from parents about their philosophies on this holiday tradition. Are there really too many risks associated with the old-fashioned activity? Or are people just opting for trunk-or-treats and fall festivals because that's the thing to do now-a-days. I don't have children of my own yet, so I haven't quite formed my own opinion on it. But I can remember growing up, looking so forward to going to as many houses in the neighborhood as possible; filling up a pillow case with candy.

Is trick-or-treating a think of the past?

Jamba Juice in Abilene

Hello Friends,

Okay, so I know I told you about P.F. Changs in Abilene (well in a bag in United Supermarkets), but now I found Jamba Juice in Abilene (in a bag at Walmart)!

I wasn't too crazy about the P.F. Changs dinners after all, but I am a fan of this Jamba Juice.

It makes 2 8 ounce cups, and it costs less than $3.00. If you've ever been a Jamba Juice store, you know that it costs more than that for just one shake. Not a bad deal to enjoy a great taste if you ask me.

Pick one up and let me know what you think. Also, if I am missing out on some other popular restaurant chains that come in a "bag" at a local grocery store, let me know. Thanks!
