As ever things go right some places and not in others. Common sense is very disabled when calamity knocks. However if it more then just knocks watchout! Because dismissal then is a dangerous thing when safety is key.
However we must live and not be overcome with grief or troubled to death by the losses of the innocent caught in the gap of judgement and dismissal.
Compassion for those that suffered loss is good however if calamity knocks to fast we must not be paralyzed by the observations but determine to live and continue on. K
August 8th 400 wild fires
The province has had an increase of fires burning after the long weekend. However the culprit is by in large the lighting storms that was followed by rain downpours. Although part of the natural cycle the severe nature of the exchange is worth noting. Here the BC fire service is doing well in its response in air attack on start ups wether lightning or human caused.A chance for life again in BC and its natural beauty? We hope. We note the above profile and the recent response by several aircraft on a fire here in Merritt recently. Now these are subject observations however subject observations can go to subjective support. We will leave the statistic to another day a crown a holiday weekend as a success in human moments.
Thank-you fire fighters! Still the Chinese proverb “Opportunity is the other side of crisis” You all have a right to seek oppportunity when dealing with crisis.
So hope as your guide and support for the others that are also seeking live, laugh, and love as there is a tommarow.
May the friends you make be worthy of you!!!!

The Plastic waste problem is opportunity in a tempest. Some say plastic is not toxic but very clean. It has done a lot of good over its time and since inception in the last half of the 20th century. The harvest of islands of plastic in the sea is good, some say that it was the lost nets and fishing gear that was the hurtful thing to fish stocks. In a coming “minimalist”world dismissal of reports should be down the list aways. However to dismiss effort in clean up or change of habits is not up. Loss of fishing gear mixed with plastic and plastic Islands may need policing of fish regulations, for some time the size of nets was policed and ilegal sizes going overboard may be a problem.
As is the storage of PR cleaned up plastic sites, beaches, islands, burning contracts add infinitum. The production of single use plastics is the main issue and the best place to start. This is our focus change, as garbage in makes for garbage out we are engaging in the positive to balance.
Hop to it.You can do it. Send the rope don’t be a dope. Climb the cliff stay the rift.PULL YOUR weight forget the freight.

Good Luck 👀👄

Weekend rain fall expected in California.
Our experience November 15th 2021
Good luck
We in 2021 were fortunate enough that a second dump forecast did not come. We think the cold front that caused the ocean generated stream had passed overnight of November 15th leaving only the mountains as a barrier to the flow of that stream.
Food supply.
California produces a lot of our winter time especially produce. Food security and climate concerns are open to local replacement (less transport), we should take note. Editor
February 2022, local beef producers demonstrate presence.
Last year a stiring and a resolved presence was demonstrated by local beef producers in the Nicola
Valley, some 14 months after losing land, cattle and infastructure to the destructive flood power of an atmosphereic stream and its affect on the Coldwater river to the Fraser Valley.
The presence demonstrated a reslove to go on and to ask for help in the losses from government. Most of the people were family operations and had a serious cultureal aspect to their plight as it effected them and us.
Moving North
The boreal forest occupies a great deal of Canada in particular the Northern parts and in the Northwest Territories. The parts of the territories that don’t have boreal forest are called the barren lands, and associated with permafrost and generally a moss on the top of the land that insulates and keeps the permanent frost just below it.
The Boreal forest does progress north as the frost comes out of the land and over time the Boreal forest pushes north.
It is a bit of a hope that the response of this dynamic will mitigate global warming to some extent, however the reliance should be limited as the world 🌎 is in a considerable supply and demand situation and it needs to come to the standard of the zero net carbon emissions by 2050.
Every one a part to play.
So, in the past it’s been our position that if everybody just did something we could probably solve this. Today our position has shifted to if everybody did something they would feel a lot better.
It may be the things that have to be done have to be on an industrial scale and we’ll just leave that thought for now.
.
Amazon atmospheric streams.
The other iconic hope is the Amazon rainforest logging and demand for agricultural land as land is depleted of its nutrients is in the forefront of the mindset of many people that are concerned. And rightly so.
This dynamic has affected the atmospheric streams that are picked up as the tropical rainforest emits groundwater out from its tops and through its leaves. These atmosphere streams could be said to have brought water to California in in previous decades.
These are hope situations some of the many circulating around on what’s happening to our planet and what we can do about it.
The one that the Boreal forest will somewhat save us from the extra carbon that is in the atmosphere by its expansion northward to the Great Canadian Boreal forest has some merit.
Im both incidents you are dealing with one or two generations however the demand including oil, minerals and resources is on the thousands of generations that it took to put in place. Before the industrial age and it’s population expanded in the last few generations to encompass a real surge on the planet
Good luck, stay calm and carry on.
