Parking regulations to be abated, Urban Jungle, Dated

Parking regulations

For apartment buildings the federal mandarins want parking regulations and amounts made less PMC and more transit friendly (paraphrased).

Concerns

  • Limited parking spaces for residents to encourage the use of public transportation
  • Designated parking zones for car-sharing services to reduce individual car ownership
  • Bicycle storage or rental facilities to promote cycling as a mode of transport
  • Proximity to public transit hubs to minimize the need for private vehicles

Remember when parking’s only concern was a good vine.

Careful with the bunches of Bananas, hording makes conflict.

Happy British Columbia, family day, holiday.

For the bunch

So happy to acknowledge the importance of the family to all those that have them.

However their loss and non-appropriation that happens in a chaotic world from time to time is a terrible loss.

However close the blues close your eyes close the minds of discontent. Your loss is more then perspective as gets out of this world without loss, balance sheets of win lose, profit and gain, current and past do little. The key is your feelings at any moment; not to be denied because you won’t know any different because you own those feelings and you’re better than glum. So stay calm and carry on and don’t let outside influences determine your feelings.

Editors note: This is not what we had in mind when we recommend getting close to nature. However the sense of freedom is a motivation to many we have talked to in this lifestyle.

Happy Monday, refugees story…

They say history repeats its self and part of Canadas history is the fact that a great many Ukrainian people came to Canada over time to escape unattractive lifes in Europe and Asia. Sadly Ukraine was providing a good life at home the last few years but suddenly reversals have once again changed the lure of a life in their homeland.

Here is a report of what may have been the dynamic that brought so many Ukrainians to Canada over its history.

CBC story, one life in Canada and its challenge.

Good luck, and stay balanced!

Today in 1901: oil gusher in Texas

January 10th 1901 the Spindletop oil well comes. Spindletop was the first great well of the Texas oil bonanza.

So, we go where we go and go when, we have  gas.
Some that don not, will not and respite will prevail.
Winds of change will make our bed unless we will not sail.
On that breeze complete, with out ease, and before we sneeze.
Let reflect on what was best, and forget the rest, it was a pest.

Adjust to what is it that makes some sense. Nor other does best!

The only data difference that resonates…

The amount of people, roads and vehicles, you have to be a cartoon character to understand. There were 1,600,000,000 in 1900 we just went over 8 billion in 2022.

Most of the world is seeking a lifestyle more in line with the US. The Irony is that oil produced the variance. Anyway if you work at it there are lots more friends available.

TGIF- remembrance Day…

11, 11, 11.

What is the meaning.?

So, this is a solemn week ending on Friday with the remembrance Day observances.

The armistice was signed before laying down of arms at the 11th day of the 11th month after 11:00 hour.

So, it is on us to remember the sacrifice of people who secured our freedom over time with the military forces. However it shouldn’t be a lecture, it should be just a getting together and agreeing on the sense that sometimes over time things haven’t worked out and force was required. And that we can benefit from observing the slippery slope that brought that into being in the past.

Then taking a sober view of the remembrance knowing that it can incite all kinds of old wounds if the agreement isn’t widespread that it should never happen again.

So good luck with that, as I leave you with a quote from the character Sandra Bullock played in the movie Gravity. When she was in terrible Jeopardy trying to get away from a falling apart space station,she said I know that we all die and with tears she went on to say but I’m going to die right now.

How to live on properly.

To expound on her feeling yes everybody does die, but how they die is important,not leaving baggage, chaos or conflict, but a peace presence of thoughts of you is a noble charge.

The mind of a bee

The little creatures that collect plant nectar and pollinate the plants are not mindless. Bees recognize faces,learn by watching and trying. Have emotions and communication abilities.

Canada honey production.

Canada produces 1.77 million metric tons per year..The average profit for a person that keeps a bees is about $600 per hive.

Canada maintained and increased the income from honey in 2020, $208 million dollars.

Piece of the action.

Bees may soon develop the ability to negotiate a better deal and keep more of their production. Tongue in cheek.
