Ah, October.

A (usually) crisp fall month that brings in all things pumpkin spice along with Halloween. The crazy shopping season is just beginning to ramp up, high school football games are in full swing and fire pits are being enjoyed, in some places, for the last few times before it truly gets cold. 

Use whatever brief respite there might be to ramp up and complete your plans for the holiday season.

Stay safe. Stay frosty.

—Lt. Frank Borelli
