To the seasons of life
Here’s a vibrant image of a fall day in British Columbia:
Would you like to see a photo of a specific location in British Columbia, or perhaps a different activity?
Forty five days of fall to come, till 1:19 AM Saturday 21/24.
Put those guys to work…
This is not an ad it’s an opportunity to comment.
The Merritt and District Chamber of Commerce is long in the tooth here in our South Central interior British Columbia town /city.
We have observed over time the effectiveness of this small organization + its worthiness by being linked to numbers of other organizations such as local government, provincial government hydro. And anybody? Trying to make a buck in a livelihood in our country, CC work.
Our life here above 600 m would not be the same without the hard-working volunteers and business people that come together in this medium.
We recall that the first bit of fiber optic cable came to the local chamber of Commerce office when it was located in the Grand hotel on Garcia and Nicola in Merritt.
Generations have come and gone and had their time and got their hands dirty in the Commerce and construction of the business community here.

Watch for a Beaver Moon on November 15th. Also known as a frosty Moon or a dark moon. This Moon’s full face will be illuminated, it is the last of the three super moons of this year.
The wisdom of ending cycles + the soul’s personal growth 💕 under scrutiny.
There will be A new moon on November 1st, but because it’s on the opposite side it will be dark and not visible at that time. The time between this new moon and when the full moons face will be fully illuminated is the dark Moon.
This is a good time for you to end some things and begin some other things for your personal growth. We recommend that you respect this opportunity and take full advantage of it. KDG
A dark moon, or a new moon, is a phase where the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making its illuminated side facing away from us. As a result, it appears completely dark in the night sky.
Here’s how you can view a dark moon:
* Timing is Key:
* A new moon occurs roughly every 29.5 days.
* You won’t be able to see the moon with the naked eye during this phase.
* Look for Earthshine:
* Sometimes, a faint glow can be seen on the dark side of the moon. This is called “earthshine” and is caused by sunlight reflecting off the Earth and illuminating the moon’s surface.
* To observe earthshine, you’ll need a clear, dark sky and possibly binoculars or a telescope to enhance the view.
* Stargazing Opportunities:
* A new moon offers excellent conditions for stargazing.
* With no moonlight to interfere, you can see fainter stars, constellations, and celestial objects more clearly.
Remember, a dark moon isn’t about seeing the moon itself, but rather about the celestial wonders that become visible in its absence.
Good luck
The estimates in some people’s view. Is that to clean up garbage in that Pacific trough there? There would be a great amount of it, a significant amount of it and some people view all of it for what the United States spends on Halloween
.
So, start planning your Halloween costume now. Make a statement!
So, the sense to go on needs the sense to be victorious and overcoming. The essence of faith is power not collapse.
The amount of tractor traffic off Vancouver is increasing exponentially with trans mountains, a new ability to move Alberta oil from the BC Coast. Recently a shipment. I left Vancouver for Alaska, the first in about a decade.
The recent completion of the Trans mountain expansion, another line going along the one from the 1950s has tripled the ability to move tarsands oil or Alberta oil to other markets.
So, that’s an experience that is developing. Possibly up to $50,000 purchasing power. Added to buying a home today.
Some hope, some relief in the cost of housing in Canada.
So, this is a point of change. We are not used in British Columbia to a cheap value to life. We take it serious that preventable lives lost are happening in the din of politicalization of dangers and the too often quick dismissive attitude not backed up by science, basic precepts of law, or common sense.
We at the proprietary review ask people to rethink their presentation of opinion to knowing and do the proper research before you endorse even vicariously the easy dismissal of things like vaccines, flood danger, a fire danger and such this will bring you more peace and keep your conscience from being troubled at night.
Sometimes and more and more than before a statement of I don’t know enough about those things to give a responsible reply . Can I get back to you..
Please base your talk on views that can be verified.
Canada has issued a weather alert concerning hurricane Oscar that would affect possible people going to Cuba.
This atmospheric River showed up around election day. Is the universe trying to tell somebody something? Not how to vote we don’t think. But we need to have a life and we have to be careful with our stuff 😔
The Nicola Valley Community Arts Council is having a fun show this month as submissions are anonymous and a raffle is in place. You validate it by guessing who did the pit the painting for prizes? The proceeds to this not-for-profit Society will be going to improve lighting in their facility.
The Art Gallery in Merritt is located on the Corner of Nicola and Voght across from the Petro Can.
So, it seems that the world is coming around a bit. The la Nina severe storm generator is working to bring up cooler water from deeper parts of the ocean and cause weather fronts to move it inland.
And, a carbon tax is taking up tariffs on carbon imiting oil reserves ( when burnt). So, we have been watching and waiting for the catastrophic sea level to rise.
Not terribly dramatic the drought is more of a sense of attention than sea levels. We know that the seas were about 300 m shallower at the top of the last ice age when a mile high or 2 mile high or more in some places sheets of ice covered North America. So did that translate into how the seas were going to rise with current global warming,? I watched as island states in the South seas were marked as going under. On examination it seems those things move regularly because of the sand that composes them.
Then I thought back to when our family business partnered with a couple other drillers to do the preliminary exploration work drilling on the site C project in British Columbia, Canada. My thoughts were tossed and since we finished decades ago and it’s been under construction for decades and now at this very moment is being filled with water. However, because of drought conditions, it’s not taking any water out of the system or the land, but it’s taking it from Williston lake. The WAC Bennett reservoir.
Although there is a greater efficiency with the new project, it’s a moot point about water because the drought is a concern that needs to be dealt with in a measured way and they certainly can do that. And we can cooperate when we are asked to preserve water and or be part of solutions for that sort of thing.
But, it raises in my mind questions about the abundance of water when it’s mixed with oil. We know oil doesn’t mix with water. We have as a society that with licensing through our government has given a lot of oil leases that have drilled lots of holes in the ground and pumped out lots of oil over the last few decades and guess what?
That oil was burned and put in the atmosphere. Some it was taken up again by trees but lots of interest to me is that nobody has ever raised the issue of what is taking its place in the ground. Of all that oil being pumped out.Yes we know that oil and water don’t mix but where there’s a hole there’s going to be water put down it and I presume that the oil will work its way to the top of it and the water will be underneath it in most respects. I’m not a geologist but I’m sure somebody must have studied that.
Then, the question of the carbon tax and its relationship to the availability to the market of tar sands oil. Now Tar sands oil isn’t pumped from big holes in the ground. It is mined refined and sands put in back filled pits so that would preclude the loss of groundwater, we would take.
But we’re not experts, but we think that would make tar sands oil more attractive to be used in place of huge amounts of pooled oil? It wouldn’t be pumped from the ground and replaced with groundwater, which it seems at this point we are suffering for.
Now, we are still not experts or giving you a lecture. It is somebody subjectively thinking what the hey; is it true, could have the environmental impact of tar sands been underlooked for this dynamic of groundwater disappearing and exacerbating drought conditions.
At any rate, the sight C project will be generating power this fall sometime and it’ll be using water from Williston lake that would have gone through the aging WAC Bennet Dam . So dam it anyway, what way water. ( I am sure it goes through both) Double dipped, but will it be back?
Hey Merit what do you say?
