NOVEMBER 29,2012

I had a pretty good day so far even though i had a few tests, and feel i could have done better.I had an appointment today and enjoying school.I have to go shopping later for groceries and other stuff then off to my sisters to babysit. Later on this evening i will probably go to tims for a coffee before i hit the hay.



Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.


I like this poem because it has a very important moral to it which is that life is like a road.No matter what way you choose it is a critical decision that should not be taken lightly.The two roads diverging in this poem represents just one of many decisions to be made in a lifetime.Sometimes we come to what is called a "fork" where the individual has to decide on a decision that would be best for them.

CBRM Smoking Ban

   The Cape Breton Regional Municipality councillors are trying to force a bylaw that smoking be banned from all outdoor public spaces such as parks, public buildings,and other establishments.District 1 councillor Clarence Prince says that he doesnt like the recommendation in the sense that the staff lacks of community concern.Although some people already discussed this problem that it wasn't an issue with, its not the whole community.Prince believes the municipality should continue to ban smoking but says there's no sense in forcing a bylaw they can't enforce.

   Policies that are present are difficult and do not have enough officers or staff to do the policing.District 4 councillor Claire Detheridge says that she didnt receive a complaint about the issue.District 10 councillor Darren Bruckschwaiger says if the bylaw was put in place,many people would follow it.The committee agreed to send the matter back to staff for further work.

   I have been a smoker for about twenty years,and i think its a good idea that smoking be banned from public places.In my opinion for those who don't smoke,they shouldn't have to be exposed to second hand smoke or be around people who smell like an ashtray.Smoking around children is very bad for their health because it can lead to asthma,bronchitis, and other respiratory problems.
