This has been a great week for those sidewalk superintendents who have been empowered to grab a shovel or chopper to free up their street corner storm water drain after a winter of snow build up.

March 22 is As Young as You Feel Day and perhaps it is fitting that it comes in this season when adults are playing in puddles.
It is not an official day but it is a reminder or even something of a comment on the evolution of our society.
People are living longer than ever and are now afforded more choices when it comes to retirement: they can quit early, retire at the traditional age of 65 or remain in the workforce at least part-time into their 70s, something even more are opting to do.
Today we can opt to delay Canada Pension, for example. Back when it started in 1966, the average life expectancy of a male in Canada was 66.7 years, less than two years after CPP benefits kicked in.
Today, you can keep contributing past that age.
