Like all families, my family has some odd quirks that I do not understand. Within the last 1 or 2 months we have had several deaths in our family. One is my uncle, my father’s brother in Vietnam and the second was my cousin in Vancouver. My mother has been trying to shield me from…
Sudbury has atrocious drivers. The weather is abysmal outside right now, but it seems that people forget the rules of the road when conditions are slippery.
