The electronic world is expanding with a lending library on Kindle readers. The local Public library has a Kindle reader for lend , and they have paid for some titles, now a source says that Amazon the internet book seller is also going to be offering an entry menu of some publishers books on lend. We will watch and wait on this. However reasons for not having a tablet device are getting fewer and far between.

Lay off

A unconfirmed source says that the crew they work on is being layed off till spring complete the sidewalk upgrade and storm sewer work on Garcia and granite. A white hat seemingly in charge later confirmed “we are out of here”

When I gave him a Diamond saw blade, I found he commented I will behave as they do. Some of his crew were seen tossing tools about a day before.

He also seemed unsure who would be finishing the project.

The site had the benefit of a Federal Government Funding credit sign for over a year before any construction began and when it did it was coordinated with the local civic election and a flurry of other work.

Also an announcement that there was no way of accounting back in the job creation projects for the 46 billion spent on the recession fighting program “The Canada Action Plan by the federal an auditor general may make for interesting applications for laid off job creation workers.

pellet plant

I went by the new wood pellet plant today and took a picture of the a man supervising a bagging operation.
A source says that there may be some hiring when the dryer is finished in about 6 weeks.
The wood pellet plant seems new and modern and clean without clutter or grease. On the way over I upbraided a child that was playing between the wheels of a parked logging truck. He agreed it was a danger and took his plastic gun and played elsewhere. The truck had nothing to do with the pellet plant however; people should pay attention to their own children.

Chuckanut Bay Cheesecake

One hundred fifteen grams of heart wreaking cheesecake, ingredients include 65 MG of Cholesterol, about a third of the daily recommended maximum. That’s 5% of the two or 3 bites, and the treat includes another 5% sodium.

Great for your next final request before a firing squad. Including the 35% fat.

It is tasty…….

Bicycle patrol

The weather is great for bikes now and I talked to an unconfirmed source that said there may be a police bike patrol this summer, and that there was non last summer. A source also said that she had spent a year on a bike patrol and did not feel more at risk or unsafe on that form of policing.

A look at the highway interchange early this AM seeing a few less trucks about a hundred an hour a little different then the Sunday afternoon count of 12o. Of interest is the seemingly large portion of auto carriers on their way. In the recent months earlier they were not as clearly standing out a ; we had talked to the drivers of some trucks hauling scrap to places like Richmond Steel and it was also seen as busier. Scrap goes to durable good s that are an indicator of economic strength. So it may be a good time for the police to be considering a bike patrol about town to promote green while being available to keep the peace. A full-sized patrol car s a good reminder for trucks on the highway that safety is the main goal at the end of the day.

Last week a driver lost his life in a fiery accident under a overpass on the Freeway.

Accident

Filed under: Crime and punishment, Vegtable soup by Kevin Griffiths — Leave a comment

Car accident at the lights Nicola and Voght one vehicle pointed the wrong way no visible, damage, another with a bender on the drivers side. What could have happened was a person got on the wrong side of the meridian and tried to continue to the intersection causing the second vehicle to strike a pole getting out of the way. I didn’t see the accident only the results. A person that could have been the driver of the wrong way car was showing extreme mental anguish of proportion to the accident . What is true is that 2 police cars responded to aid a very minor accident that could have been reported at the cop shop with in twenty-four hours 3 photographers responded ,perhaps a celebrity driver . Then a calm seemingly uninvolved person came and took the wrong way car and drove away. Must be more to it . Will follow.

New Osprey Pole

Filed under: Preditorial Birds, Vegtable soup by Kevin Griffiths — Leave a comment

April 29, 2011

A new 45 foot hydro pole was placed about 100 meters from the pole that housed two productive Osprey last year. The returning preditorial birds were upstaged by Canada Geese that took over their nest.No hostility was observed and the Osprey were seen flying with two mature Bald Eagles as well.

The birds make a sharp snapping sound as they fly by the top of cottonwood trees and take branches for nesting. They are one again at work building a nest on the new diversion pole a provided the nest they were building on the power poles has been removed and it seems wisely they are allowing the birds to make a new nest at their convience and plan.
