Continental airlines starts its operations.
A Harley motorcycle owner from Saskatchewan was displaying a plate that had a “continuous” expiration date on its plate. When asked he said it is new and if you register for direct payment with your bank account you can display that on your plate. He was happy with that and speculated that they would look you up if there was NSF at renewal time.

A blackout lasts 24 hrs in New York City demonstrating an administration that is corrupt and declineing.
Lots of class entertainers, and for those that were there a good experience. A consensus of those polled saw a favorable enjoyable weekend with some big stars. Local bars did well thursday and friday, but fewer people were in town because of the fact there were no shuttle buses running.
Was it was profitable? That will come to be told ; you would think they would have a plan to rebuild over a multi-year term.

The US sign the Alaska State hood law
There are numbers of bus tours that come through here. With seven highways and we as a hub many destination tours use Merritt as a stop. A local Korean Sushi restaurant can get 4 a day of Asian nationals stopping for the cuisine. The divided highways and ascetics make for a pleasant and scenic route weather driving or riding.
Motorcycles like the less used and more challenging routes to communities such as Princeton and Spence’s bridge and the Fraser canyon route to Vancouver.
Any mode chosen this time of the year makes for glorious trips to and fro in the South Central Interior of British Columbia.

Nigeria bans all Red Cross aid to Biafra.
It was good to see the two hockey players back in the game last evening. The win at the last moment was thrilling.
There was an evangelical calling for the end of the world to end on May 21, one day after the follow up of the legally required census here in Canada. When Ronald Regan was elected in 1980 the fringe said that he was doomed as all presidents elected in a zero year have died in office. A similar dynamic to date pickers for the return of the good lord. Any serious theologian realizes that the imminent return of the lord is just that, imminent and made to remain that way for compliance to human rights and conditions by those that would abuse those things.
You can still meet your maker at any time crossing the street or in your bathtub slip and fall. However when Christian Ehrhoff and Aron Rome where taken out of the Canucks line up in the Western final, I quipped about them being raptured out to make way for Armageddon and that must be the Stanley cup final.
We can have fun with that, it was just a coincidence ,however Revenue Canada is and the bankruptcy people are fond of using 666 and 007 in there scrutiny of assets. And the census date was a bit of a stretch.
Remember World War One was touted as being that war to end all wars by reasonable people. and things can easily get out of hand in the superstition realm. However they are back and playing well and the poetic remains as well as the former Governor General, Lord Stanley, the initiator of the NHL’s prized cup with his name on it”s admonition .:” That it be enjoyed by all colors, creeds and customs for all time” as he dedicated another work the 1000 acres of park in the City of Vancouver. We can assume the same sentiment apples.
Superstition exists and it is a binding thing not helpful in the enjoyment of life, it has no place in hockey or work life as it is fear based.That is something the charter of rights and freedoms restrains credible entities such as government from employing. No you didn’t do anything wrong to cause a loss unless it relates directly to the ability to perform ,like negligence of a duty that people rely on.
Improve your luck, look both ways crossing the street to Rogers Arena, and cheer the team on giving emotional support to a team that is less dependant on it then preceding ones , they are champions.
The 7 game contests in the finals is enough of an exposure to degrade to the mean all of the random inputs and luck to the standard of the skill in the teams. The Stanley cup is up for its 95th awarding since it went pro in 1914/15. It was not awarded in 1919 because of the spanish flu and 2005 because of a players lockout dispute, that was unlucky, however it has degraded to the mean of being a much wanted symbol of hockey excellence;over time….

The health authority has 3 full-time maintenance people and one part-time. For a 8 bed hospital and with one dormant wing. An extended care facility with 75 beds ; its hard to find published ,the amount.
A young obviously first nation full-time maintenance worker for the city, was chatty this morning about his job saying two days a week its his job to pick up the garbage from the city cans about the city .He said he looks in the top of them for obvious disadvantageous materials such as paraphernalia and needles but never searches them, he considers it a matter of his personal safety. It is good to see a person from his community on full-time for the city as this is Aboriginal awareness week across Canada.
There are numbers of private small maintenance contractors about here including one ex police person who lost his job policing through an unfortunate choice he made to assault a native prisoner.The city enjoys a clean and kept aesthetic through the 5 months of the local growing season. It is working hard at promoting a safe and stable place to spend vacation time.
