100% on board. First stop is to local grocers, then Costco, and if those fail, then I'll resort to Sobeys.

This is such a great explanation, thanks for taking the time to write it all out.

I know! And it would take forever to heal that wound.

I think they meant to say sanctions, not seasons.

Freddy Fright Fest Is Back (freddyfrightfest.com)

From the website:

Welcome to the 3rd annual Freddy Fright Fest! The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists (Fredericton Branch) have joined forces with Paramedic Association of NB (Nightmare on Smythe Street) to bring you Fredericton's premiere Halloween event, in support of the Charlotte Street Arts Centre and Fredericton Hospice.

*Please note that ticket times are slotted for the hour and you are welcome to line up anytime during that period. It does not mean you get directly in when you arrive as there may be people with the same time slot, but selling tickets by the "hour" helps reduce the time standing in line :)

It is being held at the Capital Exhibition Centre and tickets are $20.

It's ridiculous that Christmas decorations and shopping starts popping up in stores 4 months early in September (late August in some cases). No other holiday is like that. It's like seeing Valentine's Day stuff out in November or Halloween out in July. Personally, I feel oversaturated and sick of Christmas by the time it actually arrives.

I don't know about giving extra benefits to workers with children. Certainly, workers with children should be given what they need to have a healthy work/life/family balance but I don't think workers without kids should be denied those same opportunities just because they chose to live their personal life differently. I think workers in the same role should be equally compensated with all of the same benefits and opportunities which then can be utilized as best suits their personal situation.

Glad to see them devoting so much to improve the trails. What do you think the trail system needs most?

My wife and I were thinking about this last week. We were wondering about personal security. At least where we live, they like to make a spectacle of the big winner with photo op, publish name and how town, etc. We wondered if that would invite trouble for the winner. For instance, would people try to break in expecting you to have valuables? Would you be a target for kidnapping and ransom? What about your family or close friends, would someone kidnap them to get you to pay ransom on? Even if you immediately spent it all, would people still try, not knowing it's all gone? I'm with you, I'd keep it as secret as I could.
