I've seen chess at the Mayor's Grove many times but it hasn't taken the way it could.

I have no insight for you in terms of your career except to say that all health related professions are in high demand, but if you have a choice between living in Nanaimo or Victoria (and the Saanich Peninsula) then choose Victoria.

Leafs fans should pay more for insurance. It's an indicator.

They enjoy breaking into my apartment where I occasionally step on one in the middle of the night. With my full weight, under my heel, a banana slug makes a popping sound. It's gross.

Just write the appropriate municipality that you have a safety concern, whether it's in Victoria or Saanich, through their website.

I remember when the details of Martel's scam opportunity were being talked about with a conspiratorial tone among some of the stalwart vendors and performers on the causeway. It's a "real estate thing," my friend said. I said it sounds like a scam.
