[UrbanCropCircle] Worms go Trick-or-Treating

[Mewmere]

 Michael: I thought a woman was the editor of Edible Seattle. Is Alex perhaps the publisher?
I ask because I'm a writer, and while they don't pay much, I'd love to connect them with somehow.

Let me know.

PS Will I see you tonight?

Subject: [UrbanCropCircle] Worms go Trick-or-Treating


I always enjoy the Market Street parade and Trick-or-Treat.  For the second 
year, I sat outside Sip and Ship with Alex Corcoran, editor of Edible Seattle.  
It's great to sit down to watch the parade instead of standing.  It gives such a 
better view of the costumes, especially the itty bitty ones.
\
Remembering that I had given Alex some worms to start his own worm bin, I 
thought of incorporating the worms into the festivity.  I harvested about 2 cups 
of worms, put them in a can and headed down to meet Alex, already passing out 
Treats.  I was to complement him with my Tricks.

When the first kid said "Trick or Treat", he started right in with "I've got 
both!  Which do you want, a trick or a treat?"  Most kids answered "Treat", but 
those said "Trick" got a great view of a gooey pile of red wigglers!  And most 
of those that wanted a Treat also wanted a Trick!

It was great fun!  

I got in touch with my Middle School Boy!  I had a blast.  Alex had a good time.  
The parents had a good time.  And the kids had a good time, even if their most 
common response was "Ewwweeee".

Wiggly,
Michael (and the Red Wigglers -- originally from Ingela, but now in 8 other bins 
around Seattle)

:-)

P.S.  And I got a few side conversations about how good worms are for creating 
compost.  I don't think that conversation would have happened a decade ago, or 
would happen today in most cities.  We live in great times in a great city!!!
