Last night I was out admiring the moon when I saw lights across the way on the trail at the top of the ridge. I thought hikers, or perhaps, riders on horses as there was an interesting rhythm to the up and down. Today I read about the Pumpkin Head Ride in Marin. You strap a lit pumpkin to your helmet and ride your bicycle on the trails on the hills of Mt. Tam.

To make your pumpkin, All you need is: One or more zip ties long enough to attach the pumpkin to a helmet. Plastic Pumpkin Pail – 8 inches or greater diameter – Led closet light or similar. And, of course, you need to carve your pumpkin head.

I should have taken pictures, but there was an odd eeriness to it, as though watching horizontal skeletons riding along. After all, the veil between the living and the dead is thin right now.
