Today, October 30th, is National Candy Corn Day and it just happens to top the list of the most popular candy for Halloween.

It also happens to be one of my favorite Halloween candies, however, my wife found a variation of this popular candy in the store the other day that's become one of my faves, taffy candy corn.

The weather in Tyler is just fine, so it's hard to imagine exactly how bad it is right now on the East Coast as Hurricane Sandy makes her way into New York and New Jersey. There are blizzard warnings in places like West Virginia, because Sandy is mixing with a winter storm there, and meteorologists say that's the first time in history a storm like that has been created - hurricane meets winter storm. And we look out the window and see nothing of the sort. Wanna help those who need it?
