Check for vaccination then smooch away!

Just do it; the kiss be good for you, it does not matter who was in the wrong! The point is you want that flawed person in your life. Space not withstanding.

Good luck

Show your resolve for them.

I had a a verse but along came a hearse.

Move along or I will pick you up, cryed the voice.

What a jerk, not even to sport a rolls royce,

Next time bring a keeper!

I will, the Grim Reeper, said the voice.

Back on the walk, no more talk, I go.

Death is a mean feat, only to defeat, I say.

I not playing and stopping, I am dogeing the blow

Life for me and my bones. still well fed.

Sun and shade still the tone, still no dread.

I am alive and you are dead!

Emergency assistance to keep the health and safety of workers.

Trans Mountain is available to assist in wildfire management in BC.

We have offered the use of our camp communities in Merritt and Clearwater for evacuees and are currently housing evacuees and firefighters working in the area in our Merritt facility. In Kamloops, work was stood down in Kenna Cartwright Park and Pineview Park areas as requested by the City of Kamloops, with team members helping to mitigate fire risk by wetting and cutting grass in areas under active construction for the Expansion Project. Trans Mountain also supported the Robson Valley Fire Service response efforts with a skidder and water tank after a fire ignited in the North Thompson region.

Put on your consumer smarts hat.

The weeks cool translates into next months power bill. There are lots of ways to cool to support appliances including cold dishes for dinner, landscaping with stone and shade plants for maximum advantage of conducting heat at optimal times and blocking sunlight at widows with blinds.

Hey! it’s those 2 lines around planet earth called the tropics where our imaginations have caused us to limit legitimate heat extremes existence. Well between them and the Equator the line in the sand has be drawn, or not?

We are having a heat wave a polar heat wave!

So June 12th 2021 I took 8 photos of a sun dog in the western sky about 40 degrees in the horizon and the dome of the sky. Hexagon ice crystal in the Sirius cloud space cause a 22 degree circle to dog the sun. That Ice was pushed from the artic when warm vortex winds pushed it down from the pole to us.

Summer Solstice.

Summer Solstice was nearing on the 12th and the 23 degree tip of the Northern Hemisphere toward the sun was coming into full, meaning that the sun was closes to are artic pole then it would be in the 2021 summer season. The heat was creating the vortex driving the artic air that gave us a cool spring in front of it, with the Sun Dog ice along for the ride.

50 degrees C June 26th 2021

Our temperature reading comes from Lytton BC and the 26th of June Lytton was the top of a heat dome that took the town out. The heated air from the sun with the earth at its greatest tip was up to bat after delivering the sun dog on the 12th.

Be ready next year.

Be ready for that time period next year, and watch for the winter solstice here as the tip of the sun will be at its most in Antarctica on .that the December 21st (circa).

A second of time.

A song of regret and redemption!

Long ago in my crass,  I  sensed  challenge  to my zone.
 Yes some one's area was not my own.
Territory for me was a right of way. 
Move over or face the sway.

Cheap and bland was my stand.
Your share of mind is  more then land.
Its a dumb argument I can work.
To cause delay and stoop to lurk.

Make you prove because it is   yours. 
Give row to me,  my due of  you.
Just because I can;  see my retort!
You want to share, and get support,

Challenge is what came around.
A loss of energy to confound
Could have been spent in sweet love.
A magnet of charm, a white glove.

To soon old to late wise, give it back my reprise.
No not accounts, but radiant life; a moment back.
Only you can deliver me from this shame.
My ego, I promise; will I  tame.

Just because you have it to give, make it so.
No cost to either, to keep this  inner flow.
 Eternal joy between you and me, no hurt.
It's what I missed, in a second of time; with my blurt!

All my love to redeem. KDG

Chopper watch above…

Working helicopters are still above. In most instances they are away from public however some waterways are used by them. They need a wide space to fill buckets and get back to altitude.

Click for playlist…

Air attack is an industry term used for the actual application of aerial resources, both fixed-wing and rotorcraft, on a fire. Within the industry, though, “air attack” may also refer to the supervisor in the air (usually in a fixed-wing aircraft) who supervises the process of attacking the wildfire from the air, including fixed-wing airtankers, helicopters, and any other aviation resources assigned to the fire. The Air Tactical Group Supervisor (ATGS), often called “air attack”, is usually flying at an altitude above other resources assigned to the fire, often in a fixed-wing plane but occasionally (depending on assigned resources or the availability of qualified personnel) in a helicopter.

Depending on the size, location, and assessed potential of the wildfire, the “air attack” or ATGS person may be charged with initial attack (the first response of firefighting assets on fire suppression), or with extended attack, the ongoing response to and management of a major wildfire requiring additional resources including engines, ground crews, and other aviation personnel and aircraft needed to control the fire and establish control lines or firelines ahead of the wildfire.^[

No its not your pet it is the the dog star, Sirius, Canis Majoros, its the star the ancients waited to see come above the horizon so it was safe to plant along the Nile river because that God was watching over them.

That star is more that 2 solar mass’s and 10,000 degrees Celsius on its surface making it the brightest star in the night sky.

Mid August helical rising above the horizon in north America should see it come into view in the eastern sky before sunrise.

August 11th 2021 good conditions.

The star may be visible without scopes on August 11th 2021 at 41.7 north above the horizon.

Hot and enjoyable summer days.

The dog days of summer are hot and enjoyable with overnight lows cooling and giving a pleasant time of temperate and hopeful days. (Crops coming up)!

Cooling for the night.

Soak your pillow cases in cold tap water ring them out and dry some before bedtime. Maybe sheets too. Or put them in the fridge to cool them down before going to bed.

Bucket of cold water to put your feet in if you wake.

Close blinds and curtains during day.

Ensure your fans are pushing air optimally not hot air that has risen to the ceiling down to your living space.

Stay happy don’t get hot under the collar.
