If you're a reader from British Columbia you'll be able to decipher those letters as belonging to the Pacific National Exhibition, our urban version of a state fair, summer's last hurrah.

In my family we each have our favourite section, none located near the other. Chuck likes the work horses, Bryant the Super Dogs and I'm a sucker for the chamois, rubber mops and Pink Solution; assorted items hawked by people wearing mini microphone systems, loud promises to make my life easier.
