On a aside, I was in Milford CT Tuesday last. It is a very nice town/city, has some very nice beach front property and I have fished the waters in town on many occasions. My wife and I ate at a Japanese restaurant which the NY Times had recently reviewed giving it a "very good" or something of the like. The town has grown substantially over the years and it has long been a shopping hub for the area of Connecticut that I grew up in. If you can think of a major label us shopping store chances are Milford will have it.

To give you an idea of the town's make up according to the US census it is 88.41 percent Caucasian,
6.45 percent Asian and 2.45 percent African american. A few other races were mixed in but didn't break the one percent. I found this Halloween ban was limited to the school system and a parade. It has since been reversed and all the festivities are going forward. It's strange, I live not far from Milford and I missed this entire uproar. I didn't even know about it until I saw Brock make this post, apparently it became a very big issue. Currently, I've been getting my news through the print media and I've been more interested in international stories than the local stuff. Apparently there is still a lot of backlash in Milford politics.

Anyway, besides this barrage of news I just wanted to report that Milford as a town is a nice place particularly if you need to do some shopping and then consume fish or animals. I had a sashimi platter followed by shrimp tempura, outstanding.
