It was the same way here Jim. Started at 5 or so yesterday. All the kids trick or treating looked more or less like bank robbers. Wind blew about 30 sustained it was miserable especially since it was 80 on Monday.

Thanks for the input Jim. I was sorry to miss the WCT seminar this year, but as I explained to Eric, October is a normally decent

month for us. Besides, we employ an ever-expanding group of people and we go out of our way to try to see to it that our worst months,

December and January are profitable for the both of us. I guess I need to write a column on the pros and cons of increasing your

business. ( Which I am sure that the vast majority of us could do quite easily )

Not to mention taking kids trick or treating!

I also had hoped to go to the WCT but I have so many jobs going right now I didn't feel like it was the most responsible thing to do. I had hoped to take the kids out candy begging but ma nature had different plans. So like every night this week I just worked. I haven't been home before 10 any night this week. I even had to listen to the World Series on AM radio.

Would it be possible to put on the same seminars or training in different areas? Many of us are not rolling in the cash or even work a regular full-time job, but could do a weekend thats within driving distance. Purely out of selfish motives...COME TO MICHIGAN!!

Scott,...check out madca.

Well Paul , you wanted to know how i got on at the pesttech? Early start, up at 5 15am, left home at 6, three and a half hours drive, got there and registered, looked round 4 times, i had a crack with a couple of lads that i know then set off back home at 1.30.
The best thing that i saw was a new type of mouse trap, which looked pretty good until i asked the price, £45 came the reply, not for me i said.
It was a long way to go, but if you only had to travel a hour or so it would have been worth it.
I came home with loads of catalogs and abuot 20 free pens

Okay Brian, I've got two things working against me. First of all, I was not very good in mathematics and to be perfectly honest,

when I have a computer problem, usually my 5 or 6 year old grandchild can solve it. However, I did come up with astonishing figure

of $28.40 US for this wonderful new mouse trap. Am I right? And how do I get one of these "cutting edge" mouse traps?

Hey Paul ,your maths are worse than mine, Us $ 1.58 to Gbp £1.00, i make that $66.36, but it is 8am. I will see if i can put some info up later on.

My math is not near as bad as the web-site I looked up the conversion tables on! I do find the whole thing hilarious though. And

right after my bank teller complimented me for figuring out my deposit accurately with a calculator. I'm not making this up.
