Over Winter

Food Print Quiz

My result

In photo above is a link to a sustainable food Quiz. My score was characterized as making some good decisions about what I put in my mouth; (hey never mind that “What about what comes out of it” Smart butt! )That’s for later. Thanks to: What is Your Foodprint? – Quiz – FoodPrint if you missed it in the photo.

Editors Note: Please observe that the horses are slightly ahead of the parked cars in this photo and the asphalt is pronounced. The upper part of my pineapple photo is also in the picture of that sweetheart’s shopping cart. Just a coincidence!

Thanks to all the link holders.

The hills around Kamloops are noted for sage and semi desert, giving a diverse and wonderful eco system with a reasonable water shed and access to flora and Fauna. The amenities are grand and the sense of wellbeing balanced and set in a safe distance from harsher metros. However they are not Isolated from the arts and comment of societies they have the Sagebrush live theater.

Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

Space as a multicultural.

Necessary actions

Is this just the result of all the generations of Trekies (Star trek) the TV series 1996 -1969 coming to age. We think not! Its more likely a mix of mans curiosity and pragmatic need to know the way to live and survive and to react to the powers that keep human life going.

The dynamics of survival dictate from time to time a cooperation to the sane and rational and have preserved the species as whole over that time. This cooperation seems always to need a larger then normal operating field than that of the individual participants, giving the value to space and its sharing of risk benefit return a credibility.

So good luck in your share of this dynamic and lets hope its more then entertainment.

Away we stay.

So, life takes on the fray, come what may.

Some will baulk, other will take stock.

Those that will, will be strong, add to the throng.

But me and you, will know the bliss: life gives kiss.

And that’s enough.
