Where else are you going to be?…

This is not an ad  it’s an opportunity to comment.

The Merritt and District Chamber of Commerce  is long in the tooth here in our South Central interior British Columbia town /city.

We have observed over time the effectiveness of this small organization + its worthiness by being linked to numbers of other organizations such as local government, provincial government hydro. And anybody? Trying to make a buck in a livelihood in our country, CC work.

Our life here above 600 m would not be the same without the hard-working volunteers and business people that come together in this medium.

We recall that the first bit of fiber optic cable came to the local chamber of Commerce office when it was located in the Grand hotel on Garcia and Nicola in Merritt.

Generations have come and gone and had their time and got their hands dirty in the Commerce and construction of the business community here.

Voting time in BC

This atmospheric River showed up around election day. Is the universe trying to tell somebody something? Not how to vote we don’t think. But we need to have a life and we have to be careful with our stuff 😔

What are you going to do?

Carbon Tax

In Canada we have the advantage of a tax tied to a tangible commodity. The carbon tax no matter how pie in the sky it is, it’s still based on a tanagable.

Fraud not withstanding risk is better underwritten by this vehicle. So, the bubble of hard assets (oil reserves) that we are beginning to enjoy is timely for we all. Don’t waste this moment… Use it to transform ideas to near tangibles that will endure to our children’s children. 

Update

Peak oil reached by 2030.

Post from summer

We are comfortable more with fall approaching, you ?

Timely

The recent and prolonged warming is  motivating action.

We are probably facing a bubble as economic  power is increased by the  completion of the Trans Mountain expansion . The gold weld was done 👍 in a  small ceremony in recent weeks.

Carbon tax revenue available

The increase in available  Fossil energy will be accompanied by revenues that are dedicated similar to road construction in the province. These revenues will come from carbon tax  and fund plans that reduce and mitigate carbon in our atmosphere. Once again, good luck to all those in these endeavors and to those that have to use their brain power to put forward alternatives to what might be successful planning.

Parks are a good place to work for nature’s cure.

TGIF-Sooth the mood…

Sooth

A get away from the day and the night.  The joy of the present sublime. Go to the line then do the recline. Make the moment go to your treasured zest, to borrow when sought. To lend when thought, and sold when bought. KDG

We talked to two

Kayakers on the Nicola River this week; “it took eight hours to boat the 25 kilometers from the Dam on Nicola lake to Garcia Street on the Nicola River in Merritt,”.

This solved the mystery of why large flights of wood ducks were being pushed downriver. We watched at least three fights of these creatures before the appearance of two boaters and paddles appeared .
