Pay attention out there if you're driving tonight.

But probably the best day of the year for child pedophiles.

Thanks for the pick-me-up BAB.

Edit: Looking back at that, no pun intended. But I'll pretend it was intentional.

No trick-or-treaters tonight here. That nasty front is coming through here in prime-time. Already have tornado watches issued until 11pm tonight.

Looks like about 2 - 2.5 times higher than other peak days. I wonder how many more child pedestrians there are on halloween when compared to the other peak days? Not that it matters but it could be a lower percentage of child pedestrians getting hit.

Two surprises to me in that graph, that Halloween isn’t more of an outlier, and that there isn’t more observable seasonal difference.

This is why people hate statisticians.

72% of people hate statistics, but only 54% of people know that.

95.86 percent of all statistics are completely made up!
