Tonight will see an October full moon. Moons at this time are known as harvest moons as the ability to work into the night at harvest was a boon for farmers.
The moon will be full at 8:40:08 Central European Time or 11:40:08 Pacific Daylight Time.

The flag is still there. No it’s not the Cumberland River ,it’s the local concrete proprietor who hoisted this flag above the gravel pit they recently reclaimed with some seeding. The flag however placed , more than two decades ago and assaulted , taken and harassed at nite for a long time. The owner prevailed through a process of years. Greasing the pole, making it higher, numbers of trips, and flags. In recent years,there have been few vandalisms noted and it has become a local fixture. The main man in the story is a man named Henry an person from Scandinavia. Now elderly and retired both him and his wife Clara ( a former city mayor) are noted for both takeing (enterprise) and giving (jobs ,fundraising for skateboard parks, etc) they are less public now and have a comfortable retirement home on the same mountain side that supported the gravel business. Henry is seen to frequent the Middlesbrough Pub for light refreshments and lunchs.The pub occupies the same hillside and a couple of miles down. Now thats building a convient life through hard work and perseverance .We hope they both enjoy their golden years that they deserve. And is not always the result of efforts in the old world; where in part they and we come.

This view is of the highlands off Hyway 5 A in Merritt , less than 2 decades ago they came out of crown lands and into the city, should be a significant increase in the ability to expand the tax civic tax base. The tax base was quite heavily dependent on heavy industry such as a large sawmill in the city limits. this cosmopolitan mis of malls and light industry and service is a great boon for the lifestyle of the city.
There is a lot of land between this and the sky that is low-grade agricultural and some rezoning attempts to make smaller plots with restrictive covenants for hobby farms more or less failed recently. However the website sign is still visible in the style of “hollywood”.
