Don’t lose your perspective with your head in the clouds and forget to feed the cat.
Remember Rocky the flying squirrel was born on a cold November morn, and he had perspective of flight, cats don’t.Hey Bullwinkle…

Secrets of the universe…
The November 2025 sky promises a spectacular display, headlined by the closest and brightest Supermoon of the year!🌕 The November 5 Supermoon in British ColumbiaThe Full Moon in November is traditionally called the Beaver Moon. This year, it’s also a Supermoon, meaning the Full Moon coincides with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth (perigee), making it appear slightly larger and brighter than an average Full Moon. In fact, this is being called the biggest Supermoon of 2025.| Detail |
Time (PST – Pacific Standard Time) ||—|—|| Exact Peak Illumination | Wednesday, November 5 at 5:19 AM PST || Approximate Moonrise (Vancouver) | Tuesday, November 4 around 4:00 PM PST || Approximate Moonset (Vancouver) | Wednesday, November 5 around 7:37 AM PST |Note on Timing:The Moon is technically “Full” at the exact moment of peak illumination (5:19 AM PST on Nov 5th), but it will appear full to the eye for about three days, from the evening of November 4th through the evening of November 6th.What to Look For 👀The best viewing for the “super” effect is actually when the Moon is low on the horizon on the evenings of November 4th and 5th.
* The “Moon Illusion”:
When the Moon is near the horizon, a psychological phenomenon known as the “Moon Illusion” makes it look even larger next to foreground objects like trees and buildings. This will enhance the Supermoon’s effect.
* Color and Clarity:Photo KDG
Look for a deep orange or yellow colour as the Moon rises due to the Earth’s atmosphere scattering light. Since the Moon is closer, its features may appear slightly sharper if you’re using binoculars or a telescope.✨ 7 Other Celestial Events in November 2025November offers excellent viewing opportunities for planets and two notable meteor showers.1. Planets in the Evening Sky
* Saturn
(All Month):
The ringed planet is an excellent viewing target throughout November. Look to the southeast after sunset; it will be a bright, yellowish “star” visible well into the night. On November 2nd and again on November 29th, the Moon will pass close by Saturn. * Mercury (Early November): The tiny planet reaches its highest altitude in the evening sky around November 1st–2nd. Look low in the west shortly after sunset. It’s usually difficult to spot, so this is your best chance for the month.2. Planets in the Morning Sky
* Jupiter (Late Evening/Morning):
The largest planet rises in the late evening and is brilliantly visible high in the south before dawn. Its Great Red Spot and four largest moons are great targets for a small telescope. * Venus (Early Morning): This incredibly bright “Morning Star” is visible low in the east just before sunrise in the beginning of the month.3. Meteor Showers
* Northern & Southern Taurids
(Peaks Nov 4–5 & Nov 11–12): The Taurids are known for producing slow, bright meteors called fireballs, though their hourly rate is low (around 5 per hour). Look for them after midnight in the region of the constellation Taurus.
* Leonids Meteor Shower
(Peak Nov 17–18):
The Leonids are famous for being one of the fastest meteor showers. It peaks on the night of November 17th into the morning of the 18th. With the Moon being a thin crescent, the skies will be dark, allowing for better viewing of its typical rate of 10–15 meteors per hour. The radiant is in the constellation Leo, best viewed after midnight.
Uranus at Opposition…
* November 21st: The planet Uranus reaches opposition, meaning Earth passes directly between it and the Sun. This is when Uranus is closest to us and at its brightest for the year. Although it will still be too dim to see with the naked eye, it can be spotted with binoculars or a small telescope in the constellation Taurus. Look for its faint, blue-green disk.
Good viewing! Happy Star trails!
it’s a good month to get rings in…

The above resonated with me are the ones that I saw. However they were all good.
Wear visible clothing abide by traffic laws. Do what parents and adults say, have a safe Halloween. Don’t be red-faced, for anybody the day after.
Remember you have no right of way in a municipality between intersections that are marked or unmarked. You’re right of way does not include blind starts at the intersections marked and unmarked!
Be defensive in your actions. Engage all drivers in eye contact and wait for yielding.
Countervailing duty…
Perhaps the most memorable trade sanctions for us in Canada or British Columbia. Any time, were the countervailing duties Americans put on us when they began to feel the pressure of the modernization by numbers of sawmills and logging operations in British Columbia in particular.
These innovations cut local workforces down considerably. A milling operations such as one planer in Merritt,was once started in the home of a single entrepreneur; Bud Woodford, in the center of the town; Merritt had grown to being able to have 300 working people there at the birth of free trade . Some just very unskilled labour. All making livelihoods and used to having good jobs and skilled jobs at the height of markets.
Log port out of Stewart BC ended raw logs export when hydro power came for milling.
Inovation
The soft wood countervailing taxes Americans put on were mitigated by the fact that value added escaped it. We remember that the Mills here then became complimented by smaller Mills that did value-added, that was anything that wasn’t a 2×4 a 2×6 and other dimensional lumber (good reputation in the US Canadian blue) and had value added in it, including door jambs made of short pieces of cut offs, they were put into finger joints and were marketable in with attitude of value grown contribution rather then exploitation.
Opportunity meets ambition…
Innovation shouldn’t be stifled by heavy taxes it should be discovered in its trail of test.
Find a value added partner today…

Care is the way… With boundaries.
You first so you can be well with others…
Three significant historical events that happened on October 27th and their global importance are:
1. Publication of the First Federalist Paper (1787)
On October 27, 1787, the first of the Federalist Papers, an series of 85 essays arguing for the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, was published in a New York newspaper under the pseudonym “Publius.”
* Importance:
These essays, primarily written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, are among the most important documents in American political history. They provided a persuasive and intellectual defense of the new form of government and remain a crucial primary source for understanding the intent and meaning of the U.S. Constitution, influencing political thought and constitutional law globally.2.
Opening of the New York City Subway (1904)
The New York City Subway, the oldest rapid-transit system in the United States, officially began operations on October 27, 1904, with a line running from City Hall to 145th Street.
* Importance:
The opening revolutionized urban transportation in one of the world’s largest cities. It spurred the development of neighborhoods outside of Manhattan, eased congestion, and became a model for other large-scale metropolitan transit systems worldwide, profoundly shaping the economic and social geography of New York City and the modern concept of the metropolis.
3. Awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Sadat and Begin (1978)On October 27, 1978
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their roles in negotiating the Camp David Accords, which led to the 1979 Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty.
* Importance:
This Nobel Prize recognized a pivotal moment in Middle East history—the first peace treaty between Israel and an Arab country. The efforts of Sadat and Begin, facilitated by U.S. President Jimmy Carter, provided a framework for future peace negotiations and profoundly altered the geopolitical landscape of the region, demonstrating that peace between long-standing adversaries was possible.

Great fun!.

The frosts on the roofs of these Garcia Street homes in Merritt, British Columbia are the first visible substantial frost in our minds for this fall. The skies are sunny and the days are still warm. We generally don’t get snow on the grounds of the second week of November. There is a bit of a sense of normality.
no alerts as of 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, October 22nd 2025 according to environment Canada.
Whether it’s in metaphor or reality it matters little by fame standards but your presenance remains a statement of beauty grace and fulfillment.
