Speaking of best, is there a better Community President who can write? I mean, Thor absolutely crushes this perspective. What a perspective it is. In fact, normally, I’d give some away in here but a snippet won’t do it justice. Truly, the man needs to write a novel about firehouses and Cape St Claire Road, we could call it Cape Firehouse Hunk or something, romance novels are in.
So, as I stated a minute ago, no spoilers. He does remind us that October is one of the best-est months for Cape Events. Between Halloween Happenings and trick or treating in the shopping center, this month has it all. Details are in this month’s Caper.
Frank Tewey, Town Manager, reflects on the great Halloween events coming up (see the above paragraph) and also reflects on leaf season. He gives great tips on dealing with the mounds and mounds of those pesky colorful things that clog everything. Don’t forget that we “fall back” to standard time on Sunday, November 1st.

See you around the Cape!
