Japan a sea going seafood nation.

Japan is a seafood loving , long life expectancy, going to sea nation. Claiming poverty for living space because of a lage population on 5 main islands, there are thousands of small islands under their control .

Dolphins range about and have individual characters

Dolphins are distinct from Porpoise ( not by being aimless and without porpoise) but by their teeth Dolphin teeth are conical Porpoise teeth are Flattened.

Japanese History as Seamen

The Japanese have a tradition of seamanship and vessels. They are not to be mistaken for the Chinese and their junks. Both have a long trading history with the middle east and the sill road when it was mostly navigated by following the long coastline. Their craft resembles the Arabic sloops of that time.

There were 5,213,175,620 vaccinations accounted for worldwide, Canada has accounted 52,057,379 doses roughly 1 percent pf the worlds effort.. Canada has 0.5 percent of the world population, this makes a small number to administer and care for covid-19 related measures, meaning Canada’s effort is a rounded success, but not complete yet..

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.
