social event

The Building Inspector and Spouse enjoy a meal at the Heritage Society’s Lunch.

urban chickens

     The local government has made a bylaw(on a trial basis to limited numbers) saying you can keep a few chickens, word is no rooster max 4 .I talked to the owner of these birds (four) one is indisposed for photo. Says he gets 3-4 eggs a day and they are productive like that for a year. Lots of people think you need a rooster to get eggs ,not so. Chicken soup in a year not so as well says these birds boss as the are pets to him calls him his rugby team as if you give a piece of bread to one they run and play like a scrum would after a disposed ball.

deer

Local hunter that has cougar hounds bagged a four point buck . Dirty work I like more gentile activities.

 One of the oldest houses in Merritt, it is said by unconfirmed sources to be the birth place of a local vip , now deceased in the Philipines.

Dates back to cover most of the after contact history in this south central interior town.

These module classrooms  for trades  are now gone from their space at a local collage. The institution just received grants to teach long-term care aids a trade. Thats ominous.

tea

All kinds of tea cups show up at the heritage society, and sellutions antiques. All have a story hidden somewhat of hope and communication, not all happy ,not all pleasant. Some enduring some not.

Everyone is making and recording a story of their own to small and large constituencies. It really only matters to you and those few close ones and at some point it must be relinquished and trusted to forces beyond you or me….

Little nic nacs who knows what is appealing. There is a world of junk out there and getting worse.

Good stuff for sale by local bake sale enthusiasts.

Recent and on going it makes up a culture of a local group.

Looks like an old buggy,however it has modern shocks and cushion ride for some task….

new truck

 The City was   showing off its new fire equipment lately.They have  recruited a young , competent department lately, lots of new faces and hopes for the future.(opinion)

This unmarked police vehicle has been in service here for many years, is often driven by a man named Gardener a person who at one time was a corporal and the right hand of the local Staff Sargent.

He then took a job paid by the city as a liason and evidence controller.

It looks like they have a understanding of thrift and economy as well . However when dealing with the heat perception is not always fact.
