Grannies corner, Valley Craze cafe, Merritt BC, Canada
Remember the great Canadians
I can see by the clock on the wall. It’s time to bid one and all. This was the poetic beginning of the closing to the Wayne and Schuster show when I was a kid. So it’s appropriate to be in Granny’s corner at the coffee house off Nicola Avenue.
Just around the back with signage ” this parking lot is not ours” is a delightful nook for baking coffee and conversation.
There is two hours on street unmetered parking on Nicola Avenue which is highway eight out of town to the Coquihalla and 5A + West to Spences Bridge.

2114 Nicola Ave, Merritt BC, open 6:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. most days.
Investing in comic books and publications can be a fascinating and potentially lucrative endeavor. It combines a passion for the art form with the possibility of financial returns. However, it’s essential to approach it with knowledge and a clear understanding of the market. Here’s a breakdown of key aspects: What Makes a Comic Book Valuable? * Rarity: The fewer copies available, the higher the value. This can be due to limited print runs, errors, or damage over time. * Condition: A comic book’s grade significantly impacts its price. Factors like spine creases, tears, and discoloration are considered. * Historical Significance: First appearances of popular characters, key storylines, and landmark issues hold greater value. * Demand: Popularity and cultural relevance drive demand. This can be influenced by movies, TV shows, and general fandom. Types of Comic Book Investments: * Golden Age (1938-1950s): These are the earliest comic books, often featuring iconic characters like Superman and Batman. They are generally the most expensive and sought-after. * Silver Age (1956-1970): This era saw the rise of Marvel Comics and introduced characters like Spider-Man and the X-Men. * Bronze Age (1970-1985): This period explored darker themes and introduced many beloved characters. * Modern Age (1985-present): While newer comics are generally less valuable, some have the potential to appreciate if they feature significant events or characters. Where to Buy and Sell: * Local Comic Book Stores: These are great for browsing, building relationships with experts, and finding hidden gems. * Online Marketplaces: eBay, MyComicShop, and others offer a vast selection but require careful inspection and buyer protection. * Comic Conventions: Cons provide opportunities to buy, sell, and network with collectors and dealers. * Auction Houses: For high-value and rare comics, auction houses like Sotheby’s and Heritage Auctions are options. Tips for Investing: * Do Your Research: Understand the market, grading standards, and key issues. * Focus on Quality: Invest in high-grade comics to maximize potential returns. * Diversify Your Portfolio: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Spread your investments across different eras and characters. * Store Properly: Protect your comics from damage by using proper storage methods. * Be Patient: Comic book investing is a long-term game. Don’t expect overnight riches. * Consider Professional Grading: Services like CGC and CBCS authenticate and grade comics, which can increase their value. Risks and Considerations: * Market Fluctuations: Like any investment, the comic book market can be volatile. * Counterfeits: Be wary of fakes and reproductions. * Grading Disputes: Disagreements on a comic’s grade can affect its value. * Storage Costs: Proper storage can be expensive, especially for large collections. Is it Right for You? Investing in comic books can be a rewarding experience for those passionate about the hobby. However, it’s crucial to approach it with realistic expectations and a solid understanding of the market. If you’re looking for a quick return, this might not be the best investment. But if you’re a fan of comics and willing to do your research, it can be a fun and potentially profitable venture. Remember: Always consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

Dime shows peaked during the 1880s and ’90s. The professor often had human freaks and would give discourses and pictures would be taken. However, and it’s not unlikely that The show must Go on in so many lives and that a necessity of sideshows as a distraction was aptly demonstrated in many occurrences.
We want a life challenging as well as with a sense of well being and safety. We look forward to that opportunity and the strength of the new government as it endeavours to give the gift of livelihood to its constituents.
Where it takes us is less important than how, a good sense of belonging to success at any level of participation should be a premium.
Success at any level is measured by the inclusion of the weak and the engagement of the strong . So we can all be proud of BC.
Good luck… All give, all contribute, all thrive at a personal level, satisfaction be your portion.

Hans Kruse recently passed from this life and we remember him as the driver literally and figuratively for HK trucking in Merritt BC. And the trucking magnet for this little place took advantage of deregulation in a 1980s that saw trucking deregulated in BC, licenses were given out but tariffs or rates we’re wide open for competition.
High times
Entrepreneurship was the catchy of the day. Many people held down a full-time job in a mine or a mill + yet there was a Proprietoratory drive that saw small business on the part-time level as well as a small mom and pops like HK struggle to succeed. More than extra money and the less than economies of scale. But individualism had its way,
However, not without casualties. We won’t go into that right at this point 😞 But you know in life that one’s freedom is often somebody else’s peril.

So, so this Labour Day weekend in Merritt, British Columbia is moderately warm, hot and calm with a coolness of evaporation of water felt on your skin in most places.
To enjoy these moments we took a walk about a half a block down Garcia Street to the Nicola River and we were delighted to see flocks of wood ducks coming down the river and, lo and behold. This fella shows up in a kayak who had been obviously driving ducks down the river, Both him and another both were delighted with The 8-hour 25 km paddle from the dam at Nicola lake to the bridge on Voght Street in Merritt.
Indian summer
Although the Federal government can only call it indigenous summer the term is understood and well into October some years the term is realized in warm to hot daytime and cool evenings and nights. We look forward to its presence in our city at 600 m above sea level in the South Central interior of British Columbia, Canada. We hope that you enjoy similar pleasant weather wherever you may be at this time.
