September 29, 2023

The observable day today is “National Coffee Day” this bit of info comes from Starbuck. We had coffees there this morning and for a friday it was very busy. Must be true; of course for working guys that s probably true most day.

The photo below is of a Diamond Driller in the 1970’s and he had his coffee in a billy can on top of an airtight wood burner behind the tarp, in what was affectionatl your kown as the shack. Long ways from the comfort of a modern car and a Starbucks stop. However coffee worked then as now without the need for much society or with society.

Coffee is multitasking every day and in every way.

Big Harvest moon tonight and tommarow

Have nice view, weather permitting.

The City of Merritt has not put restrictions on water as they would normally on May 1st, instead they are relying, on provincial drought regulations which at this writing do not have any restrictions on the two rivers in Merritt.
