I'm not a fan of Halloween. What began as 

All Saints Day

has been hijacked. 

The Celtic druids revered it as the biggest holiday of the year and emphasized that day as the time when the souls of the dead supposedly could mingle with the living.

Halloween also has ties to pagan traditions—like attempts to appease and communicate with the dead. Some people dressed in scary costumes or carved grotesque faces into large vegetables to ward off wandering spirits

The 

origins and connections to satan, devil, demons

and the modern day goal of scaring kids/people? I'll pass on that. 

Another tradition is the druidic belief that during the night of November 1, demons, witches, and evil spirits freely roamed the earth with joy to greet the arrival of “their season”—the long nights and early dark of the winter months.

I used to understand and care about

NASCAR and The Chase for the Cup.

Good Lord "win the race" means less now than ever!

The previous championship format, renamed

NASCAR Playoffs

,

[12]

was maintained for the 2017 season, but with changes. A revised regular-season points system will be adopted, splitting races into three stages. Stages 1 and 2 are roughly 1/4 of the laps each, and stage 3 is about the last 1/2 of the race, except for the

Coca-Cola 600

which is split into 4 equal lengths. The top 10 drivers at the end of the first two stages each race will earn additional bonus points towards the championship, 10 points for the first place car down to 1 point for the 10th place car. At the end of the race, the normal championship point scheme will be used to award points to the entire field. Additionally, "playoff points" will be awarded during the regular season for winning stages, winning races, and finishing the regular season in the top 16 on the championship points standings. 1 playoff point for the winner of a stage, 5 playoff points plus an automatic berth into the round of 16 for the race winner. (unless there are more than 16 race winners in the season, then the top 16 in race wins move on). Also, more bonus points for Top-10 in points standings at the end of the regular season: 1st place in regular season points earns 15 playoff bonus points in addition to the points earned with race or stage wins; 2nd place earns 10 playoff points; 3rd place: 8; 4th place: 7; 5th place: 6; 6th place: 5; 7th place: 4; 8th place: 3; 9th place: 2 and 10th place: 1. Playoff points are also awarded in each playoff race, except the final race, for those drivers still competing for the championship, for winning stages and winning races. If a driver qualifies for the championship, these playoff points will be added into their point totals after the resets for the first 3 rounds (Round of 16, Round of 12, Round of 8). For the Round of 4, (final race) there are no bonus points involved and the highest finishing driver of the 4 is declared the champion.

This means a driver can have less regular season points than another driver, but be seeded higher due to more wins.

Now I can hardly understand nor do I care to try to figure out the points and playoffs. Who won the race? That's about all I care #ringTHEbell

Nicknames are common around most families and KFGO is no different. You hear Jack Michaels called "Bones" more than "Jack". Does anyone ever wonder who "Too Tall" or "T3" is? The list of nicknames is looooong at KFGO! 

How did Don Haney become Dazzle? Who is "The Blade"? Does Sarah Heinrich have a nickname? How did Cally become "Mustang Cally"?
