Fall colours
Fall is here with temperatures going close to freezing at night. The colour is rich and the mood sublime as the earth prepares for a bit of a sleep . Still some time off as yet, the change for now is right on cue for the Thanks Giving time that many share.
Yesterday in the UK the 10,000 odd druids became an official religion, that means they can marry and bury.

BIKES TWO WEEKS BY BOAT
These travelers from europe say that they put their bikes on a ship and flew here the bikes took two weeks. Another couple from Holland said they got a speeding ticket and the police said they will not come to Holland to collect. My advice is to pay it immediately or file a dispute immediately( to get your day in court) and to avoid the possibility of a bench warrant. You can do that at any government agent office in any community in BC; do not pay the police.
