So, if last year you didn’t make a resolution because you were swearing off resolutions. Here’s another opportunity to swear them off.

Don’t lose your perspective with your head in the clouds and forget to feed the cat.
Remember Rocky the flying squirrel was born on a cold November morn, and he had perspective of flight, cats don’t.Hey Bullwinkle…
Perhaps the most memorable trade sanctions for us in Canada or British Columbia. Any time, were the countervailing duties Americans put on us when they began to feel the pressure of the modernization by numbers of sawmills and logging operations in British Columbia in particular.
These innovations cut local workforces down considerably. A milling operations such as one planer in Merritt,was once started in the home of a single entrepreneur; Bud Woodford, in the center of the town; Merritt had grown to being able to have 300 working people there at the birth of free trade . Some just very unskilled labour. All making livelihoods and used to having good jobs and skilled jobs at the height of markets.
The soft wood countervailing taxes Americans put on were mitigated by the fact that value added escaped it. We remember that the Mills here then became complimented by smaller Mills that did value-added, that was anything that wasn’t a 2×4 a 2×6 and other dimensional lumber (good reputation in the US Canadian blue) and had value added in it, including door jambs made of short pieces of cut offs, they were put into finger joints and were marketable in with attitude of value grown contribution rather then exploitation.
Innovation shouldn’t be stifled by heavy taxes it should be discovered in its trail of test.

Care is the way… With boundaries.
You first so you can be well with others…
Ostriches are raised for meat, feathers and eggs and are commercial. However these bunch of hostages in the news of late were going away from that and we’re used for tourism. Coming endeared to some keepers. Wouldn’t have been, if it was just for meat.
This is a very serious condition that affects foul and gets into people it can be fatal to people and the closer they are the bigger population areas and more of a risk.
The cull that was ordered by the authorities has been stayed and there may be a presentation between the parties at the Supreme Court of Canada and there is a controversy over testing the remaining birds, 300 out of a possible 450 that had contacted the avian flu and are under scrutiny.
The virus involved is H5N1, and could be a particularly concern at the start of the flu season and respiratory illness that could accompany it.
Orange the cue
We hope your day went well. We think of you often, we think of ourselves when we were kids 😉 what an opportunity it was and is and can be passed down.

Rivers pickup our rain and deliver it back to our seas and in the interim they water crops and they mitigate carbon and they mitigate phosphorus and all sorts of things that are being brought to the surface and give us a good environment.

Mallard ducks are the most prevalent around our place, our neck of the woods here in Merritt, British Columbia. We love our Mallard ducks.
The local naturalist club will begin their regular weekend fall and winter schedule on the 18th. Their meetings are generally most months on the third Thursday at 7:00 at the Nicola Valley institute of technology, top of the hill Belshaw Avenue in Merritt.
Hey Merit what do you say?
