So, that optic isn't as bad as I understood it to be.
The quote: "[I] Want to remind all of my cousins from down the lower [?] ways to make sure that you go in and have your test. And I want to tell everyone in the region, make sure you stop into the gas station, say hi to George and spend some of your money in the local economy."
So you can see my confusion. But happy he wasn't plugging a family member. Carry on.

Insider baseball thread ... I'm primarily a journalist, not a businessperson; I have a tiny bit of experience in business management, but I was never trained to run a business, and I've been learning and making it up as I go along.
If I say so myself, I've done well with the Examiner. Basically, it was just: follow all laws, pay all taxes, pay people well, but spend less than you bring in. It's been a reasonable path to success these 6+ years. Can't complain.
But we have growing pains. I'm spending too much time on the management side (because I'd like to do more reporting) and the business is at that point where we need more established practices and planning.
BREAKING: New details emerge about the night of April 18 in Portapique /thread
Lisa Banfield told police that that evening was her and GW's 19th anniversary. They had drinks and FaceTimed friends in Houlton, Maine, a couple.
Lisa and GW told the couple in Maine that for their 20th anniversary, they were going to have a "commitment ceremony." The woman in Maine said "don't do it." That upset Lisa, and she said "I'm leaving." That in turn upset GW.
