Lots of on luck to the Brits on their decision on Thursday. It seems odd to us that our parental nation is trying to make a decision on independence.
Referendum on EU membership on Thursday is their decision and theirs alone.
Is that turn about Fair play?

The cost of regular parts from manufactures can be a problem. However there are lots of jobber parts. These are made for replacement of vehicle factory parts that are expensive. Warranty as anything else is not effected by these things in a general sense because all parts are warrantied for ” manufacturers defect” and the failure must demonstrate that. Abuse can’t make warranties void if there was a defect.

Local Motel, Merritt BC ,File Photo KDG
No room in the Inn,there is a large CP rail crew staying here in Merritt and a large bus pulled up to a local motel and let off a tired looking and soiled work crew on Thursday.
There is no Rail here in Merritt it was taken out decades ago when truck traffic started utilizing the new divided highway , the Coquihalla. After stopping running trains for 2 years the company removed the tracks. A local Building supply on Voght street was one of the first to expand over the right away putting in a large warehouse to solidify the removal. The local Rotary Club made a walking trail and spruced up a bridge at the junction of the Nicola and Coldwater rivers coming into Merritt on Highway 8 from the Fraser canyon.
According to a source the reason the crews are here is because they usually stay in motels in Cache Creek, close to the work, but no rooms were available to suit them. The reason being there is a film production going on at Cache Creek and they are taking the available rooms.
The regional district has a film commission that accommodates productions : http://thompsonnicolamoviemap.com/ the movie map shows a number of productions made in the Area of Cache Creek Ashcroft BC. The dry desert like climate is highlighted on the TNRD commissions web site.

Daylight saving time (DST) or summer time is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months by one hour so that in the evening daylight is experienced an hour longer, while sacrificing normal sunrise times. Typically, regions with summer time adjust clocks forward one hour close to the start of spring and adjust them backward in the autumn to standard time. [1] source Wikipedia.

Some events require a lot of air travel and a person (not just a celebrity) can make offsets in life to accommodate carbon generation.
Make a donation to a green thing, buy a new car ( even a new smaller gas car) think green , think offsets.
Walk down to the public library and do a program to offset some of your energy use. You will feel better!
Car pool is always good, fill up all the seats if you have to drive to a hockey game.
You can always plant a tree…. You have imagination don’t miss stuff for carbons sake but make up the difference.
