The artic is on trial .

Kelowna grief pending…

Strong though strength alone…

Practice building strength everyday.

Deal with every event in strength for yourself, notas an example. Control emotions, buy resolve. Never say I somehow deserved that! The raw of edge of challenge is random, unless you seek it’s path. Your strength is not to judged but used as profit for your time of life that you must satisfy to be all that you are. KDG

You need not to be liked or easy to anyone except your own self.

Smoke made for an question ” have you got a bag packed?” on thursday on the city of Merritt website.

decisions are not always redeemable.

In the coming…

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

Brave and best we hope the rest.

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!!!!

Waste solutions

things are picking up

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.

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
