Hey Neighbor!

Sorry about the commercial at the beginning. He's my neighbor, and his is the only other house on the block to go all out on Halloween.  From the article on KTVB: Dr. Greg Hampikian, professor of forensic biology and director of the Idaho Innocence Project, played a key role in the analysis of the DNA that was at the center of Knox's appeal.  After his team reviewed the DNA evidence Italian prosecutors used to convict Amanda Knox, he came to the conclusion that Knox was innocent.

Here Are Some Nasty Photos

I won't post them here, but will provide a link to a disaster cleanup place's website. I've been the one that had the really nasty job of removing bodies from scenes like the ones they show. I warn you, it is pretty gross. http://www.cleanqueens.com.au/scenes/index.html Their "mascot" seems a bit sexist, and maybe a bit tripped out on strong cleaning chemical fumes, but a lot of their site is interesting to peruse. I don't agree with this though, but I won't get into particulars in this post. I don't 100% disagree with their statement, but I feel there are some exaggerations to these type of statements. Violent death and body decomposition are biohazards. Through blood and air borne pathogens you risk HIV, hepatitis C, tuberculosis, e.coli and hantavirus.

Body Bags?

This is actually called a disaster pouch, FYI They also come with these handles. I can't find photos, but some come in double wide. What I mostly use are white plastic envelopes with no zipper. They are more cost effective. In a pinch, a girl can never go wrong with a good ol' disaster pouch.

First Decoration 2011

Kyle dug the wreath out of the rafters of the garage. The Halloween one. I added some autumn colored leaves and a string of battery powered LED's. I love that we now have a season to bring all the ghoulies out of the garage rafters. He is really getting in the festive mood this year, and is currently looking up zombie makeup on the tubes. Ahh... the season is upon us haunters! I'm just starting to feel right at home again. Bring it.
