Double the fun! Get your mind out of the gutter. In this situation it’s about the power of great combinations.

By this I don’t mean your phone, power or cable bill. I mean Hurricane Bill. He is coming here to Nova Scotia and you should get prepared. Surf over to the National Hurricane Centre’s web site, and by the way going surfing at Lawrencetown beach may not be the best idea. Another source for great information […]
