Well, Halloween's over, the Braeburn Boneyard is being dismantled, and it's already time for the snows of Christmas ...
Yes, we're still dealing with weather in the '80's, but thanks to the joy of Hollywood special effects, this house on Mendocino is enjoying a fresh coat of artificial snow for whatever-it-is they're filming there (the production assistants weren't talking to me).
On the other hand, up the street, this IS one of the signs of the season in Altadena: the Balians are stringing up their Christmas lights, preparing for their annual reproduction of the Close Encounters Mothership at Mendocino and Allen.
