As you stroll through your neighborhood, aren't you amazed by your neighbor's Halloween decorations? Traditional ghosts and goblins, it seems, have all gone high tech.

Simple ghosts suspended from trees? No way! Today's haunted graveyards feature spirits that light up, move and wail at any and all unsuspecting visitors.

Frankenstein and Dracula are longer seen perched on chairs on front porches.

"A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral." _ Antoine de Saint-Exupery

You've heard the phrase "diamonds are a girl's best friend." Well, I definitely love to sport rocks on my fingers or around my neck, but the kind of rocks I'm sporting are found right in your own backyard or driveway!
