From the Olympic expectation of 2010, and this year’s cruise season “1,000,000” to be served, is a normalcy after Covid and fire emergencies…

Expectations mount.

As Vancouver prepares to welcome back more and more visitors to its downtown core, the city is gearing up for a potential influx of a million people over the coming months. With the CBC building set to serve as the official broadcasting center for the upcoming Olympics, it’s clear that the city is expecting a major surge in tourism as well as international attention. Despite the challenges of the past year and a half, Vancouver has remained a vibrant and exciting destination for travelers, and with the return of the cruise industry, there’s every reason to believe that the city is poised for a successful rebound. Indeed, as we look forward to the months ahead, it’s clear that Vancouver’s core is set to be a hub of activity and excitement, offering visitors from around the world the opportunity to experience everything that this beautiful city has to offer. So why not start planning your visit today and join us on the streets of downtown Vancouver as we welcome the world back to our shores!

Millions for the environment…

The British Columbia government is expected to provide upwards of 10 million dollars for electric charging stations for what is expected to be a larger cruise ship.

World wide ships.

Estimates of the number of cruise ships in world go from 270 to “332” Cruise Mummy 2023. The CBC is saying 331 that maybe the number of dockings booked.

The number visitors for Vancouver rivels the visitors for the 2020 Olympic games were the province renovated old hotels to deal with homeless people for those weeks. The million for the cruise season this summer covers April to September. A further estimate for Victoria of 800,000 Plus is for months as well.

We hope that all go s well and some BC. Health care workers get some of the benefit and emotional relief of being on the other side of recent years.

Beware of “Open Registries”

Flags of convince…

A ship flying the flag of an open registry country my not have the best quality of mariners. We think of Panama, Liberia… The ships name and County should be painted on its hull, if it doesn’t match it’s flag it will be an open registry ship.

2024 Summer Olympics Paris France Winter 2030 bid.

The 2024 Summer Olympics is next year in Paris France. The notation of the AI above makes reference to the Olympics perhaps the CBC is up to something but it would make more sense if they were doing something in Paris…

We are leaving that reference in the AI article because of the 2010 Olympics and the similarity of expectations even though one was weeks and the other is months people had to prepare. So do your phone research on the CBC and the Olympics and AI as we are doing.

The 2030 winter Olympics bid, (Indigenous reconciliation driven) was said to be dead after the BC Government said it would not support it maybe what the CBC is talking about currently. The Bid got support from the 2020 Vancouver city council. It is said be still alive until fall 2023, there is a 7 year rule on bids involved and a failure of another bidder is in play now. Lets see what my AI has to say about this issue…

2030 Vancouver Olympic bid.


The potential for a 2030 Vancouver Olympic bid has been gaining traction in recent years. Despite setbacks and opposition, supporters of the bid believe that it could be an opportunity for Indigenous reconciliation and for the city to showcase its beauty and hospitality on a global stage once again. The bid has faced criticism over concerns about the environmental impact, cost, and displacement of communities. However, proponents of the bid argue that it could bring economic benefits, infrastructure improvements, and a sense of pride and community spirit to Vancouver. The fate of the bid remains uncertain, but the possibility of hosting another Olympics has sparked excitement and debate among Vancouverites and the global sports community alike. Stay tuned for updates on this evolving story, and let us know your thoughts on a potential 2030 Vancouver Olympic bid in the comments below.

Income range

Aggressive paid athletic performers such as Pro rodeo cowboys according to some sources may make upwards of a million dollars i per annum. The US average cowboy performers make under 40 thousand dollars a year and top out mid $70,000 a year.l

Injuries

Pro rodeos hire clowns to protect performers from excited livestock. However serious injury is a reasonable risk for some to take.

Trends

The romantic lifestyle of the Rodeo cowboy is always in jeopardy and for people to establish themselves on the pro circuit they risk injury and poverty on a long road up. The hundred performances a year is also a cumulative claim on a person’s life.

The local Rodeo Association in Merritt is hosting the local pro Rodeo Sept 3 and 4th “Rodeo is back” is trending.

Lives Laugh Love

Dandy lions and bees. So does everybody know that Google is said to have rented goats and got service from both ends on its lawns at it’s headquarters. That begs the question what other nuisance is employed against the grain of some people’s sensibility.

When coming to the environment one must be careful there is something in it to offend everyone and often it does.

So Bees…

There are literally hundreds of these little creatures that we call bees. Some are pollinators extraordinary which when it comes to some flowering weeds might put them on the wrong side of you. Manicured lawns often do better with lots of watering that seems weeds take advantage of it when there isn’t this much watering.

Painted lawns

Before we go silly with this there are good reasons for this endeavor as it relates to the environment.

One being :

Reflection

In the absence of naturally occurring coloration a substitute for light colors such as white over dark colors such as black will decrease the absorption of heat and promote the reflection of light and heat back towards space.This is a good thing especially in times when the white reflective pools covered in snow and ice are diminishing and showing dark ground that would love to absorb any heat that was available. As well painted panoramas of live trees may have a calming effect on some people as they walk about or drive about. You could test this theory by painting some relief of weedy ground maybe ad a goat. Some how this idea lacks comfort in my viewpoint. So that leaves the actual property Care at home that would have less of a permanence and be comforting in the fact that it can be managed and it’s not forever.

Firesafe courses

The province of British Columbia how often puts on fire safe courses and I know from experience that they’re easily questioned and open the discussions on what’s the best way to make your property fire safe and at the same time not inconveniencing the present ability of the property.

Window of opportunity

The time in the spring that dandelions are a nuisance is only compounded by the fact that they spread seeds however you can spread your seeds you can put them in a pile on the dry out nicely in the window pick them up and send them away and if you get big black plastic bags to deal with them they’re out of your control by for part of the time that they go to the landfill perhaps try a black polyethylene sheet a black polyethylene sheet glued out on the ground to absorb heat, place the dandelions and Weeds on it and just get an idea of how quickly they can be dried out in a way that makes disposal in a local burial pit practical.

A villain in puberty…

So in one sense we view this photo as a good thing.

Being blind to the fact this youngster could be nefarious conductor of heat you might say more everywhere please.No no weeds under concrete!

Yes, and this conductor doesn’t have an orchestra. It only conducts heat and cold and it’s up to you on how you employ it which it will choose to do. So you could plan it’s they so it wouldn’t be lost and lonely and it could be productive preserving heat for when you need it and conducting the cool 😎 when most beneficial to you. That’s also your value to begin it is like contractors city planners and more. The way you put these things out and the way you plant around them can be as planned as you want it to be.

Dandelions you be the judge..

So back to our main topic those dandelions, round up the cost of not buying toxic poisons and make a donation at your local outlet that offers these things or to organizations like mind it to you in your rebirth has a environmentally astute liver.

Happy Earth Month 2022
