These Are The Things I Think About -- Oct 29th-Nov05th

November 6th today. It’s US election day, here is a break from its never ending coverage...you're welcome.

Lets have a look at the past week that was Hurricane Sandy hit parts of Canada and a bulk of the US East Coast last Monday night. True story, in the scramble to prepare liquor stores were one of the first places to run out of supplies. Whether it’s was the hurricane or the booze, seems people were set on ending the night with the room spinning. 

On a lighter note, we also had Halloween! Here’s some Halloween facts figures, & Trick or Tidbits (punny!) for you: 

-Just like Potatoes, Fighting & St. Patricks Day, thank the Irish for Halloween. In the 1840s they brought the custom to North America. Halloween is infact a national holiday in Ireland. 
-Great news for the kids. Experts say this year North Americans spent nearly 2 billion dollars on Halloween candy, an average of 44 bucks per house. Life is sweet, (no pun intended this time) these days for Trick or Treaters. 
-At 220 calories & 13 grams of fat, turns out Reese’s Peanut Butter cups are the worst candy for you. But oh they are good aren’t they! 
-And talking food, get this next to Superbowl Sunday Halloween night is the second busiest night of the year for pizza deliveries. You’ve gotta think delivery drivers have crazy stories come the end of the night 

 …One more, true fact; During the Civil War, the Pumpkin, at times, was used as a war helmet… Too weird to make up! 

-Gilmore 


--Oh P.S. We also started the week with a little scary, not in the good Halloween way, news. Word came down George Wendt, aka Norm from Cheers, was in the hospital. George was admitted for chest pains last Sunday. He has since had bypass surgery and is recovering. Here’s hoping he’s doing well…We’re thinking of ya Normy! Here’s some of his Classics:
