Hey kids, as tasty as this candy bar may be...
...make sure mom or dad get a look at it first. We're sure milk chocolate from Uranus is a wonderful candy. What's not to love? Oh yeah. Years ago AYDS "diet candy" met an untimely end because of the name. We are however rather certain that chocolate candy from Uranus doesn't have the magic elixir phenylpropanolamine – a substance the FDA has now ruled “not recognized as safe” in it.
Another creepy Halloween destination
If you ever find yourself in Stowe Vermont and you head across Emily's Bridge don't be surprised if in the middle of the covered bridge your lights and engine cut out. Don't believe Johnny? It's happened before. Some people report scratches to themselves or their vehicles.
So if you ever are in Stowe make sure to take a trip across Emily's Bridge, if you're not too scared that is.

Late night open thread
Congrats to the Red Bulls out in Harrison tonight who won a one-game elimination match against Sporting Kansas City (Bad 24 hours for Kansas City):
Bradley Wright-Phillips, who led the league with a record-tying 27 goals, tied it in the 77th minute and headed in the winner with less than a minute remaining in regulation.
New York will host Eastern Conference champion D.C. United on Sunday in the first-leg of a two-match semifinal. D.C. will host the second leg on Nov. 8.
It beats the hell out of the Jets...

What was the best candy to get at Halloween when you were a kid?
Johnny Tweeted out the pic below telling the good children of Jersey City he was ready for them tomorrow. Johnny always overstuffs the proverbial candy buckets because it's just tougher to trick-or-treat anymore. Where it's not been outlawed it's been severely curtailed. You show up at Johnny's door and you better know a good dentist.
So tell us dear readers, what were your favorite types of treats to get on the holiest of candy nights? Candy not being smushed under a small pumpkin is not the correct answer.

OK this is just too cute for words
Today is National Cat Day. Johnny has a dog BUT he'd most likely also have a cat if Mrs. Johnny wasn't allergic to them. That being said the company Uber is, from 12-4 today hosting #UberKITTENS. If you get our your smartphone and bring up your Uber app and punch in KITTENS your driver will arrive with a gaggle of kittens for you and your office mates to play with, from the Uber blog:
It’s just $30 for 15 minutes of kitten snuggles and every dollar from your visit is donated directly to the participating shelter in your city! In most cities, you’ll also have the option of adopting that little furball you’ve almost certainly fallen in love with. Just ask the local shelter rep assisting with your kitten delivery.
See? How cool and what a great use of a corporate app. Get dialing...

Sorry for the lack of any infotainment today friend-o's, busy day on other matters. It may wind up costing you the entire day ironing things out but Johnny's best free advice in his business is never let a one day issue become a two day issue.
OK, you've been good, here's a late night treat before bed.

A Jersey City Desk Editorial
Know who's not an Ebola expert and doesn't have anyone on full-time staff who really truly has a working understanding of Ebola and what happens in such a global outbreak? Chris Christie.
Know who are experts on the Ebola? The CDC and World Health Organization, both of whom Chris Christie is pretending he knows more than because he's trying to raise money for the flat earth society. Cuomo conceded he didn't know what they know and NY are no longer sending people to Ebola yurts. If Christie keeps on this path then no doubt Steve Fulop will meet with certain handpicked council members and Toll Brothers to give a 30% tax abatement for 20 years to build Ebola Housing Downtown. Without fail some advertising douche would name it The Virale! Then when they get ready to break ground Toll will tell city planning they don't want stupid Ebola patients anywhere near let alone inside their glamour pad. City Planning will of course capitulate.
We don't want that Jersey City so contact Christie's office and tell him to shut his yapper and listen to real experts. If the World Health Organization or CDC ever wants analysis or lyrical meaning of ANY Bruce Springsteen song they should not hesitate to contact Governor Christie. Christie needs the old "less talk more listen" approach here.
