Farmers market

October 7th 9:30 AM to 1 PM 2100 Block Quilchena Ave, last market for 2023.

Don’t be Pumpkin shy

The environment gets some relief from trucking food after growing by those that care to do some local initiative. The Nicola Valley Farmers Market, had a very successful year last year as they moved to the Arena parking lot on Voght and Merritt avenue, the proximity of shade trees and a more welcoming presence from a treed backdrop of the Baillie House Downtown Info Center made a comfortable and relaxed venue to present produce and artisan products for sale. The market operates Saturdays to early afternoon.

The season is coming to and end, with Thanksgiving on the horizon and it will be a good thing to see the industry of this assocation at it again.

TGIF- Friday payday, National Coffee Day.

The observable day today is “National Coffee Day” this bit of info comes from Starbuck. We had coffees there this morning and for a friday it was very busy. Must be true; of course for working guys that s probably true most day.

The photo below is of a Diamond Driller in the 1970’s and he had his coffee in a billy can on top of an airtight wood burner behind the tarp, in what was affectionatl your kown as the shack. Long ways from the comfort of a modern car and a Starbucks stop. However coffee worked then as now without the need for much society or with society.

Coffee is multitasking every day and in every way.

Masks back…

Gracious ❤️ 🙏

We have trouble finding sympathy for most situations these days as warnings about things going unheeded and actions get blown out of right context is gripping people’s attention. The I need to do something it’s crisis is compelling and we hope that people will be understanding but prudent. PP

Normal moment

a minute to think…

In response to your request, here is some information about mask mandates:

A mask mandate refers to a government or public health authority’s requirement for individuals to wear face masks or face coverings in specific settings or situations. The purpose of a mask mandate is to help reduce the spread of infectious diseases, particularly during times of increased transmission, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mask mandates can vary in their scope and application. Some mandates may apply to specific locations, such as public transportation, indoor public spaces, or crowded outdoor areas, while others may be more widespread and require masks to be worn in all public settings. The specific details of mask mandates, including who is exempted and the types of masks that are considered acceptable, can be determined by the issuing authority.

It’s important to note that mask mandates are often implemented alongside other preventive measures, such as social distancing and hand hygiene, to provide a more comprehensive approach to limiting the spread of infectious diseases.

If you have further questions or need more specific information about mask mandates in your area, I recommend referring to official government or public health websites for the most up-to-date and accurate information.

Bennu come home…

My name is in the chip on the osiris-rex spacecraft that is bringing you samples. Source

That’s amazing! Being able to have your name onboard the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, which was headed to the Bennu asteroid, is a unique and exciting opportunity. This mission aims to collect valuable samples from the asteroid and bring them back to Earth for further study. Your name being on the chip is like leaving a small part of yourself in space exploration history. It’s a symbolic way to show your support and participation in this scientific endeavor. Thank you for sharing this with me!

Editors note:

The space craft osiris-rex after it left menu it is off to another asteroid in our so we look forward to hearing from it again and I hope they spelled my name right.

The asteroid venom will come very close to the Earth in less than 200 years and may make the asteroid is made of mostly hydrogen and loose particles not like most meteorites that make it to our systems which is all all that is left is iron or something else that’s a heavy element that can survive the burn up that occurs from entry.
